HOMEPAGE : LIST OF FILMS :

Human Radio 2001 / 9' Director: Miranda Pennel Music by: Andy Cowton Photography: Mary Farbrother Editing: Miranda Pennel, Russ Clapham Performers: Amateurs Production: Arts Council of England, David Z. Obadian United Kingdom Choreographer turned into filmmaker Miranda Pennel provides an expanded notion of choreography through her films, alongside an intimate observation of the human behaviour, ritual and display in the spheres of private and public life. In Human Radio (an Arts Council production for the Capture series) she worked with respondents to an advertisment seeking "living-room dancers" - people who like to dance behind closed doors. She filmed ordinary people of all ages dancing in private moments of personal abandon. Combining subtle detailed documentary-like image with theatrival invention, she makes a beautiful film on human moments of everyday transformation. (also see Tattoo) [ back to the list ]
