Multi-Media Dance
Choreography and animation by Janet Randell. Extract from Ascending and Descending, combining animation and live dance. The animation morphs from an ephemeral spirit figure to a more earthly animated character, and then to a live dancer. There are images of the angel’s journey between heaven and earth in Jacob’s dream, echoed in the theme of angels ascending and descending on the Son of Man from the Gospel of John.
3D animation and modelling rendered in Maya. Live dance performed by The Cedar Dance Theatre Company.
