Alive from Off Center

Season 2 Episode 6: Video Theater and Dance

In this program, hosted by Susan Stamberg, three dances created especially for performance on television -- two from America and one from France -- are enhanced by computer technology, graphic design, and special camera effects. "Visual Shuffle" uses computer designs to visually transform the space and the movement of the dancers; "Fractured Variations" relies on camera techniques to emphasize how the dancers' move together and alone through realistic space; and "Rude Raid" creates a futuristic vision of man's primitive need for warfare and its horrific outcome through the use of graphic designs, camera tricks, and costumes.
