Dancing With Drones

Abstract

The normalisation of drone warfare and drone surveillance is becoming a concern to all. But drones can have other uses. Starrs & Cmielewski used a drone to record dancer Alison Plevey’s site-responsive performances in different locations at Bundanon. In response to the persistently intrusive drone, she exhibits a range of different emotions including curiosity, agitation, engagement and resignation. At Siteworks 2014 she performed live at night to both her own video image and the live drone. Performance date: Saturday 27 September 2014, 7.00-7.45 pm
