Access by appt. only.|5CBPF. 520 Six Phrases in Real Time" is a videotape interpretation of an actual videodance event, performed at Serramonte Shopping Mall. The nontheatrical environment of Serramonte Shopping Mall, provided an immediate audience for "Six Phrases in Real Time" that was unfamiliar with the inside workings of TV and modern dance. The audience attention was constantly changing from dancers to monitors, to technicians and cameras, to themselves viewing the dance. The interweaving of these people and objects in the space provided a part of the whole experience.Five dancers manipulated six movement phrases. One skittered near one of the six closed circuit monitors and imitated another dancer's image on the screen. A cameraperson would leave her camera and assume the posture of a dancer. A dancer working a camera, shot two passersby sitting on a bench, while another dancer laid beside them, rhythmically flinging her arms and legs. The audience shifted their focus from chroma-keyed storefront lights on a monitor, to a nearby dancer, to supered ensemble dancers over the center fountain moving to a dissonant sound score. The reality of Serramonte Shopping Mall on Sunday afternoon was altered. For forty-five minutes the audience, dancers and crew members associations with television and dance were radically changed. "Six Phrases in Real Time" is both another interpretation of the event and an independent visual and aural experience with its own integrity. 538 U-matic NTSC. 541 0 PFA 0750-01-11008.
