Renaissance Man does ballet (Day 59 - Jens)
Channel: Jens Bäckvall
Date: 2012-02-28

A character: René the renaissance man, does "ballet"

 Being a man of some considerable greed, which I concede that I am, I quickly looked through the larder and, to my happy surprise, found a roast chicken and two bottles of wine which I proceeded to eat and drink as fast as I could.
 After this small feast I lay down on the living room sofa, thinking that I would rest for five or ten minutes. So you can imagine my horror when I woke up no less than 3 hours later, to the noise of someone or some-several coming in through the front door (which, if I haven't mentioned it earlier, was the only door leading in and out of this particular house).


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!
