Blowing in the Wind (Day 169 - Jens)
Channel: Jens Bäckvall
Date: 2012-06-17

The seagull stopped in the strong head-wind. Sailing on the spot, seeing everything below as something far away and unattainable. Unattainable because the strong winds made it almost impossible or at least very dangerous to attempt landing at the moment; but this wasn't a problem, since the seagull had often stayed in the air for hours, even days on end. The storm would die out eventually and then he could land, and after all, just locking ones wings and banking from side to side, while watching the goings on below was quite an interesting way to spend a Sunday afternoon.


This video is one of the tools for a new, open-source physical-theatre project by Jens Bäckvall and Christian Adelhorst Rossil.  Every day in 2012, we will create a small movement or other idea for the stage with a minimum length of 10 seconds. This will be filmed and uploaded. The uploads are not meant as finished material, but are sketches for possible further work. Every video and the things done in them are open-source, meaning that anyone may copy, use or be inspired by the videos and movements and use them in any way they want to. All that we ask is that you mention our names in any flyers etc. if you use it. Also, we ask you to comment on the material, either through writing or creating and filming material of your own. Anything you upload will also become open-source and a part of the project. In the beginning of 2013, we will create a performance, based on and using some or all of the material that we, and others, have created.  See our home-page for more information: ‪http://www.t-nova.org/2473652012-EN.html

Enjoy!
