Younger Heart (2019)

Taking inspiration from the electronic band, Blue Hawaii's single « Younger Heart », this video art piece explores the themes of "Together in the Universe" as well as "Islands". My piece will explore the idealistic notion of love between the opposite genders and racial backgrounds. I will choreograph two different race male and female contemporary dancers, who will perform their personal interpretation of the concept of love in the style of Pina Bausch. Bausch was a German performer of modern dance, choreographer, dance teacher and ballet director. With her unique style, a blend of movement, sound, and prominent stage sets, and with her elaborate collaboration with performers during the development of a piece (a style now known as Tanztheater), she became a leading influence in the field of modern dance from the 1970s on. Thematically, this piece will primarily convey the concept of the impossible and metaphysical attempt of two entities in terms of merging into one another physically and spiritually. The video will equally explore the metaphysical dimension of transcending the separation of matter: the sensation of a entering inside another being in spiritual, psychological, anatomical and visual terms. The viewers will even be able to see the interiority of the dancers' physical matter, as in their molecular consistencies with the help of animation and CGI effects.
