Overview
ENTRAPMENT | MULTIPLES | SPIRALS
Winding upwards, gazing downwards, a solitary figure, dancer Erin O’Rourke journeys through an old labyrinthine staircase as a metaphor of her psyche. Moments of déjà vu and multiple selves emerge, achieved through editing, extending the dancer’s corporeal limitations as a tone of psychological entrapment emerged in a spiral structure.
The initial creative development of Void was supported by a stART Grant from Metro Arts in 2020. Void was incorporated into Claire Marshall's folio of works for her Master of Fine Arts (Dance) at the Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne (2019-2021).
Void has been selected for over 35 film festivals including DanceLens at Dancehouse, Melbourne, TDP'21 International Dance Festival, Ireland, Festival de Cine-Arte en la Frontera, Venezuela, In Shadow Screendance Festival, Lisbon, Thessaloniki Cinedance International, Greece, Vesuvius International Film Festival, Italy, Dark Veins Horror Festival – Lecce, San Francisco Indie Short Festival, Braga International Video Dance Festival, Portugal (Winner), Lighthouse Film Festival, Chicago, and Texas Arthouse Festival.
Claire Marshall's Void is another favourite, a lyrical experience of labyrinthic entrapment, a cinematic dance reconstruction that lies somewhere between Lynch and Hitchcock
