Renaissance Man and Death (Day 60 - Jens)
Channel: Jens Bäckvall
Date: 2012-02-29

A character: René the renaissance man meets death.

 Crawling over underground,
 furry, slimy, strange.
 He is oblong and quite round,
 in forest or on range.

 Sharp of teeth and cruel of jaw,
 guess what he can do.
 His claws have teeth just like a saw,
 his eyes they look at you.

 And now, here is the scary part,
 creeping; ever close.
 With little, thumping, beating heart,
 he chomps down on your nose.


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!
