by Anthony Morgan
A scrappy romp playing inventive and viscerally dangerous games with ten foot ladders. This black and white film collaboration between choreographer Anthony Morgan and dance filmmaker Valerie Nelson has screened at some twenty five festivals from DFA's 25th Dance on Camera Festival co-sponsored by the Film Society of Lincoln Center to Croatia to Argentina via Berlin and was selected for the "Best of the Festival" tour of the 1997 Moving Pictures Festival of Dance on Film and Video. Accompanied by a toe-tapping industrial sound score by Patrick Pennefather and performed by a cast of five dancers and one actor/musician, the film showcases the fast-paced athleticism and playfulness of Morgan's choreography.
