So here's something I don't want to do. I don't want to use any images from popular films or preferably not from pre-existing footage. In short, no montage of hollywood films. I understand that we want to see these post apocalyptic films as some sort of references and get ideas, but I'm just making sure that nobody here takes movies Cara suggested as some thing we will be projecting behind the performance. I think we can make something far out and interesting projection without relying on found footage.

I would like to have more input as to what inspired you to choreograph the dance, or what images did you have in your mind. Also any abstract things like feelings, shapes, colors, and tempo will help to create the visual images.

We talked about melting ice block. We can film that as well as having it on stage. On video, we can manipulate speed and even reverse the melting block of ice.

I want to use visual image as sort of de-constructive tool for the concept of "the end". I tend to like abstract images that sink into viewers mind and stick for years to come. Or something people may forget but few years later comes back to haunt and finally making sense. To me direct images are shallow and weak. For instance, if I were to show tale pipe, smog, traffic and rising thermometer to express the global warming, I won't have you guys dancing around the close up image of tale pipe. That would be lame. In stead, I would distort those images to the point viewers have to think and re-think to make some sense out of it. With the dance, music, and other art form combined it can be very powerful.
