This project was a dance film looking at the calm and chaos of the city and the countryside. The two concepts are juxtapositions, and either can be calm or chaotic. We took Gelt Woods as an example as it has a small river flowing though it, which in places is very deep and appears calm, but at points it is shallow and rocky, making the water seem fast and energetic.
There is also a small cut in Carlisle town center just outside the main pedestrianised part of town. This part is often teeming with people, but just at the end of the day it is serene and quiet, but just around the corner is one of the busiest roads in Carlisle. Here, busses and emergency vehicles rush past at all times of the day and night.
The main concept for me is that she is disorientated into thinking she is in danger as both of these places are capable of achieving this feeling in the correct circumstances, which was really fun to play with.
I had to create costumes for both scenes which are directly opposite, concentrating on the straight lines of the city and the flowing curves of the countryside.
