Jerardi's dances move fluidly between media -- from dancers captured in
videos that are projected on the sides of buildings to intimate
personal private performances and site-specific works. With
"Perspective," she returns to the stage and collects excerpts from
several pieces she's created over the past five years. Re-imagined as a
series of related dances, they will intersperse projected video with
striking gesture and compelling performance, including a new quartet with an original score by Amy Farina (of The Evens). "Jerardi's talent is well established
within dance circles; her perfectly capable video installation proves
her merits in other genres as well." (Washington Post's Express)
Proliferate -- a DVD-R label and site dedicated to dance for the screen -- has just been launched. Forthcoming releases will include curated compilations of experimental video shorts by movement-based artists. With a dedication to a DIY approach, the label aims to bring more visibility to experimental dance while also encouraging others to develop their own work for the screen.
We've just released Façade, a DVD. The seven tracks -- viewed separartely or together -- are an adaptation and second section to the first live version of Façade which took audiences on an alternate tour through the upper floors of the Washington, DC art space The Warehouse in autumn 2006. It features a score by Rebecca Mills using material from the original performances with Tristana Fiscella. The DVD was made possible through support from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities. Order a copy through this site's store (to the right). Also available through Proliferate, Sockets CD-R label, the Shop at Civilian, Politics & Prose, and FilmBaby.
