A free man in Paris: Dance research in action

A solo dance improviser/video artist spends four months in Paris to extend and refine his creative practice of making video self-portraits by improvising for stationery camera and then editing on Final Cut Pro. His process – and the website blog he keeps during his stay – raise questions on the aesthetics and methodologies of making dance for the screen and on the conundrum for a working artist of framing himself or herself within the realm of practice as research (PaR).
