This is a plan which is quite intrusive…..

Some dance would be filmed, and then transported into people’s homes, through their windows, by a portable projector. The projector person would have the role of a ‘good stalker’. They would stand outside the houses, almost like christmas carolling or trick or treating, but possibly more interestingly without the knocking, or pre-warning – like temporary graffiti. 

The film would be projected through people’s windows into their homes. This would also take place in other spaces like in clubs or outdoors onto walls. The projector could be quite small so it would appear and no one would know where it was coming from at first.

This could also take place in a range of locations, and if there was a collection of films which had a connection or relationship, it could be a blast of films – almost like the splurge guns in Bugsy Malone, when they burst into the Grand slam, with several projectors. Like a gallery attack in different spaces. This may be nice if the attackers are in 1920’s/30’s costume for the attack so that the actual film attack is part performance too.

The inspiration behind the project is mostly rooted in my career and interest in dance, and the lack of public awareness of it, and accessibility to it. Particularly contemporary dance, and the plaguing of reality of the nature of dance, and how it works for dance artists in comparison to what is seen on television with Louis Spence, and Pineapple Dance, and Glee. I earn money from promotional and marketing type jobs, and realise their benefit in educating, and encouraging the public to enjoy certain things.
It would be great to blast the public with an artistic approach to dance, and reflect the nature of dance that appears and then is instantly lost as soon as a performance is over, in terms of the projection disappearing once the blast is over.
The other inspiration was the fact there was a post with such freedom!
