I’ve had the enormous pleasure of creating videoclips for the music of Stewart Wauchop in the last few months.

Stewart is my brother-in-law. He’s pursued a creative career all his life and now at nearly 80 has produced several albums of his music, written and recorded over the last 50 years.

AI is supporting us both to realise some projects long left on the back burner.

For me, I get to create video again—a form I loved working with many years ago. Stewart’s music is meaningful for me so it’s a joyful process.

Some of the videos I’ve made have dance elements and I can see how I can wrangle the bot to create animations and dance videos in the future.

A Japanese connection

I have only just come across the new dance prescriptions for 2015 HSC study and was absolutely delighted to see that Sue Healey’s work Fine Line (2003) has been chosen as a core study. I worked with Sue at UNSW and have followed her dance video work for the longest time, valuing her input into teacher professional development in the medium.

I’m looking forward to featuring Sue’s work on Dancing Capital.

I’ve just been on Sue’s website and on her Vimeo site and found this gem, which relates to my visual arts practice.

So many of the images and ideas in this work resonate with my recent travels in Japan. In response, here is a slideshow of some of our Japan snaps.
