Dana Gingras, Marie Davidson and Sabrina Ratté create living sculpture in Jump Cut #2
A remote audiovisual collaboration that creates “a sense of an altered corporeal reality”.
In the wake of the pandemic, choreographer Dana Gingras, founder of Montréal-based multimedia dance company Animals of Distinction, found herself unable to work on the kind of large-scale audiovisual dance works showcased at festivals such as CTM. In response, Gingras conceived Jump Cut, a six-part cable-access-style web series of remote collaborations between multidisciplinary artists from around the world.
In the second episode of Jump Cut, available to view above for a limited time, Gingras teams up with Montreal musician and producer Marie Davidson and Paris-based Canadian video artist Sabrina Ratté. The 25-minute piece imagines the body as a living sculpture, as the minutiae of Gingras’ body movements are morphed back and forth between a virtual body animated by Ratté.
