In response to the lack of live performance during the COVID-19 pandemic I have started a series of socially distanced duo performances.
Dr. Bonnie Henry assured British Columbians that transmission is unlikely outside in the open as long as social distancing measures are respected.
All these performances are freely improvised, although in some cases we have a concept to focus upon.
I will continue to make the videos and post them to Vimeo, then list them here as they are completed.
Polymer Dance and VIXmedia – Session 1
Video #1 – “Social Distance – Rendimiento a Distancia Social”
I conceived this work to demonstrate artwork with social distancing. Miriam and I are 6 feet apart at all times.
I prepared 6 ft long strings with yellow tape to mark the distance at each end and brought a long measuring tape, seen clearly in the foreground.
This was also to assist any potential audience to maintain a correct distance. We weren’t really sure what would happen.
Video #2 – “7pm: Our Community Tribute” – ” 7 pm: nuestro homenaje comunitario”
The second video from this same session. Miriam speaks Spanish, so we agreed to make the titling bilingual.
You Are Here
Video #3 – Bird Serenade
You Are Here, (YAH Band) is the name of of our group. A session outside with Paul Plimley playing Degan glockenspiel and Victoria with the Greenfield classical guitar. Our concept was to play where we had so often enjoyed birdsong to entice the local birds to improvise with us.
This video had the most bird song joining us.
Polymer Dance with VIXmedia – Session 2
Video #4 – Deliberate Reflections/ Reflexiones deliberadas
Deliberate Reflections/ Reflexiones deliberadas from victoria gibson on Vimeo.
This was from our second session of improvised movement and music in the park.
