Notes
Content: Video/dance collaboration by Karen Levin and Johannes Holub, 1976-1980. Subtitled: Improvizations. Dancers: Karen Levin, with Gale Ormiston, Gael Stepanek, Janis Brenner, Robert Diaz, William Holahan, and Carlo Pellegrini. Cameras: Johannes Holub, with Bill Marpet, Esti G. Marpet, and Joel Gold. Music: collage by Celestial Vibrations; several sections are with musicians Ed Gordon and Richard Cooper seen on the set. Editors: Holub, Levin, and Dorene Hyman.
Content: Summary: First six sections are in black and white and are principally video camera recordings of dance improvisations. In the seventh and eighth sections (also in black and white), tv monitors are introduced so that the dancers are seen both "live" and on screen. The last four sections are in color where various special effects (quantel, video feedback, luminance keyers, etc.) were added during production, and in editing and post production.
