  • Getting into the Act: Video in Live Performance Bibliography

    The article examines how video has enabled live performers to manipulate space and time, citing Trish Brown's wall choreography and Joan Jonas's distant performance; it argues that video offers immediacy, flexibility, and new compositional possibilities on stage. It traces video integration from late-1960s experimental work (Vito Acconci's Claim, Chris Burden's Match Piece) through narrative and abstract uses, with examples including Marjorie Gamso's At Turning Points, Alien Ginsburg's Kaddish, Joanne Kelly's Tahmar, Amy Greenfield's Mat/Glass and Aldo Tambellini/Sarah Dickinson's Pierot in Time. The author is a freelance writer and coeditor of The Handbook of Television Dance, to be published by Marcel Dekker Inc. by the end of this year.

    Plenary address to the Society for Cinema Studies, Chicago, March 9, 2000; delivered by a film educator with two decades in a four-year undergraduate production program. The speaker maps an expanded field—film schools, communications, arts and medical curricula—and moving-image media (film, video, CD-ROM, web, installations), and diagnoses threats from corporatization, distance learning and declining nonprofit exhibition. Citing exchanges with NAMAC, Women Make Movies and the Robert Flaherty Seminar and referencing 1989 political events and global violences, they call for alliances with media-arts centers and offer ten programmatic wishes including anti-racist feminist politics, tenure lines and larger rental and programming budgets.
