Metamorphosis of the Body (Day 7 - Jens)

Immaculate movements, creating a metamorphosis of the body. Bones slowly moving from their everyday comfortable positions, rearranging themselves into someone or something else. Each bone and tendon falling into its new place, stretching or tensing muscles, forcing the skin to shift and expand. Cells moving between each other to fit into a new form.
Patient, excruciating, incredible.


This video is one of the tools for a new, open-source physical-theatre project by Jens Bäckvall and Christian Adelhorst Rossil. 
Every day in 2012, we will create a small movement or other idea for the stage with a minimum length of 10 seconds. This will be filmed and uploaded. The uploads are not meant as finished material, but are sketches for possible further work.
Every video and the things done in them are open-source, meaning that anyone may copy, use or be inspired by the videos and movements and use them in any way they want to. All that we ask is that you mention our names in any flyers etc. if you use it. Also, we ask you to comment on the material, either through writing or creating and filming material of your own. Anything you upload will also become open-source and a part of the project.
In the beginning of 2013, we will create a performance, based on and using some or all of the material that we, and others, have created.

For the sound, I sampled crumpling paper, put it through a filter and added some synth sound using Garageband "Circuit dialog".
