As
part of A Point in the Making - Three
Days with Babette Mangolte, Babette Mangolte contributes to a masterclass
for a group of professionals and students from different disciplines including
fine arts, dance, film, and art history. Mangolte's latest film Staging Lateral Pass (2013) is a
registration of a choreography by the Trisha Brown Dance Company and is the departure
point for conversation. The masterclass is an initiative of curator Fleur
Muiswinkel.
Staging Lateral Pass was shot during the two-week
rehearsal period of the Trisha Brown Company for the 1985 premiere of Lateral Pass at the Walker Art Center in
Minneapolis. Mangolte did not make a final edit of the material until 2013.
On
the basis of this film and other materials Mangolte will talk about her work
and her collaborations with choreographers, theatre makers, artists and
filmmakers over the past forty years. The notion of 'framing' is a guiding
principle for the day, starting from questions of framing performance in film
and photography, and how those media capture movement in space and time, and
extends to ideas of framing in the context of an exhibition.
The
masterclass is at invitation only. For more information, write to Fleur van
Muiswinkel at
