Dance for the Camera Four: Part 1 - Pull

See TV listings for this programme

Dance for the Camera is a series of unique short dance films, made collaboratively by choreographers and directors and conceived especially for television. This part takes a comic look at our quest for physical perfection.

A collaborative work by:
Bruce McLean
David Proud
Ashley Page
Jane Thornburn
Mark Lucas

Composer
David A Stewart

This is a slyly comic look at the obsession with the body beautiful in the final years of the 20th century. The performers search for perfect health and fitness in a partly constructed, partly electronic environment of intense colour and shifting perspectives. Two ballet dancers, an Olympic gymnast, two sculptors and a model pursue the ideal, adopt narcissistic poses and become caught in ludicrous, obsessive loops of movement.
