The Filmmaking Performance, <Roll and Action>

<The Filmmaking Performance, ‘Roll and Action’> is a documentary based on the performance of <Roll and Action>, which was selected as the ‘Arts and Creativity Support Project’ in the ‘Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture’ Division of Dance in 2021. <Roll and Action> illustrates the process of film production into a performance. The choreographer who is also the director of film uses various camerawork and step sequences to naturally assimilate into the movements and music of the performance.
How the current generation enjoys the film as a medium is expressed by two dancers who are separated into the real world and the digital world, in order to unravel the relationship between the two parallel worlds.
In the second half of the documentary, the dance film is screened by real-time recording using multi-cam switching, and the audience roams the stage following the requests of the director. The performance is composed of the situations that happen in a filming site, as well as the structural features of a dance film. These characteristics allow the audience to doubt to what extent the performance is staged, while capturing themselves through the screen with the final result. In this way, it provides the opportunity to rethink about the essential similarities and differences between dance as a performing art and dance film as a medium.
