One of Australia’s finest video artists, David Rosetzky’s captivating works have been exhibited widely throughout Australia and internationally. Gaps embodies Rosetzky’s ongoing exploration of personal identity and the relationship – or ‘gaps’ – between self and other through speech, movement and dance.
Rosetzky’s collaborators on Gaps include choreographer and performer Stephanie Lake, (who also choreographed How to Feel, 2011) co-writer Anna Zagala, and performers, Jessie Oshodi, Lee Serle, Rani Pramesti and Dimitri Baveas.
Drawing from material Rosetzky gathered conducting interviews with his cast, this new work is an oblique survey of the transition from rehearsal to performance, in both art and life.
The artist’s process involved in-depth workshopping of the material with the performers, who come from acting and dance disciplines. Lake’s choreography, which integrates naturalistic and stylised movements, was also developed with input from the cast and Rosetzky during this rehearsal period.
Long time collaborator David Franzke provides the sound design.
