intro/ Dante Quartet


Hey guys, My name is Jessica Bell. I am a senior BFA Dance major. I started here with a strict passion for movement, but through UF I have discovered my passion for creating dance. In the future I plan to create dance films out of the dances I choreograph. My desire to share the gospel through dance by creating movement and art off the testimonies of others. Film is a wonderful way to share art, while also offering the opportunity to experiment more that just a basic stage can offer. 

While watching Dante Quartet felt my attention being drawn to the subtle differences being made with in what appeared multiple compositions of splattered paint. I was drawn to the slow fades as well, visually seeing in my mind how the body could be manipulated to match the paint. The more I became lost in the piece the more I started to see new events occurring with in the piece. I was left with a question: is this actually occurring or are all the colors and rapid changing playing tricks on my mind?

I agree with your comments about the video. It left me wanting to develop a story line. It seemed like fire to me, and it seemed like the "fire" had a plot. I wanted to know why the levels of colors were changing.
