Video Set is an immersive dance theatre experience exploring the making of a music video. Video Set built on ideas developed in Claire’s Bell Tower project at QPAC titled The Pitch.
In a music video world of fast-paced edits, Video Set is a unique experience of the making of a music video. Featuring Erin Swann of Streamer Bendy and a cast of contemporary dancers, Video Set draws on Claire Marshall’s experiences choreographing music videos, providing the audience with a unique behind-the-scenes experience. Using live projection, the audience can decide whether they view the live performance or the live video capture projected on the screen as they roam about the performance space. Are they the same? How does the camera, lens, framing, and lighting alter what we see?
