Moving and Shaking It

Lesley Hope Farley

Curated by: Sydney Hermant

Lesley Hope Farley’s experimental documentary Moving and Shaking It archives a public dance intervention/happening, staged in the streets of Montreal in 2000. Fifteen dancers paired with videographers were dispersed around Montreal, to dance and document. All were connected sonically through headphones and portable stereo units tuned to the same community radio transmission (90.3 FM in Montreal).

 

As part of her exhibition at the Or, Farley will be staging a second Moving and Shaking It in the streets of Vancouver. Drawing on the same principles as Montreal’s intervention, October 24th’s performance will use Vancouver dancers and videographers connected by a live broadcast courtesy of DJ Elisa Rose and Vancouver’s Co-op Radio 102.7 FM.
