LECTURES:
Making Screendance: Thoughts on an Interdisciplinary Practice: https://vimeo.com/447149662
Spanning a 50-year career as dancer/choreographer, video artist and more recently, as painter, Sparling's lecture-demonstration for video reveals his passion and process for making screendances. His videos incorporate and fuse together his own danced improvisations with greenscreen/keying editing effects, music, painting, costumes, film and theater. He accompanies his talk with a stream of still and moving images that vividly illustrate and embody his ideas.
