The Present Continuous

Overview

Through dance and improvisation in a fictional scenario, the video The Present Continuous aims to portray the body’s comportment in partial escape from its morals/belief systems ingrained through upbringing. When the body sets out to characterise itself, it falls into a trap of disillusionment, where we can be conscious and fully functioning under the gaze of character, but not one we have knowingly found ourselves brought up to be. The sharp division between private and public has become partial. Often to find ourself loosely tied to an image in person we don’t move as.
