CCAD Year 3 Begins

We the commencement of year three at the Crawford, the amount of work is already beginning to escalate. Through the course of the summer, I have done a vast amount of experimental research. Such research included the direction and filming of a music video and also a number of individual photoshoots. However commercial orientated these may be, the experience has opened my mind to further filming technique and my skills with the editing suite have greatly improved.

Continuing on from the last college semester I believe that it is in my right mind to re-visit the overall theme of narcissism pushing it that little bit further. I also want to further develop my interest in movement and expression and how this works with the intersection of two or more people. Through this and within a non-specific environment, I want to get into the inner psyche of the performer, what s/he thinks whilst performing and how this affects the performance.

I have recently been looking at the beautiful work of William Kentridge. His charcoal drawings have such an amazing edginess that would attach that extra layer to a rare set up environment.
