Shirley Clarke at Venice,|cPacific Film Archive People file: Shirley Clarke 511 0 Danced and choreographed by Daniel Nagrin; accompanist, Sylvia Marshall. 520 A dancer and pianist arrive at a dance rehearsal studio to rehearse. Before beginning, the dancer (Nagrin) looks sentimentally at a seashell he finds in his rehearsal bag. As the dance begins, Clarke intercuts the same dance as shot in the studio and on a beach. The two geographies are merged into a third plane, with the seashell seen at the beginning perhaps representing the dancer's memory. After the dance, Nagrin and the accompanist share a smoke and begin to discuss the performance, providing a sense of a return to reality. The film abruptly cuts them off. 655 7 Shorts.|2mim 655 7 Personal/independent films.|2mim 690 Women filmmakers. 700 1 Clarke, Shirley,|d1919-1997. 700 1 Murphy, John J. 700 1 Clarke, Bert. 700 1 Greenspun, Ted. 700 1 Gilbert, Ralph. 700 1 Nagrin, Daniel. 700 1 Marshall, Sylvia. 710 2 Gryphon Films. 740 01 Shirley Clarke compilation. 935 GLADN50871433 941 0 PFA 0500-01-6511.
