CHAIN REACTION CHAIN REACTION CHAIN REACTION

CHAIN REACTION

CHAINREACTION is a collision of dance, animation and sound that juxtaposes the movements of live performers against the motion of animated projections. A real time game of snakes and ladders that unfolds between animation and dancers in a continuous interactive evolution of action and reaction.

Canada / Fiction / 12 minutes / 2014
A Microclimat Films production

In the playful and highly entertaining hybrid of dance and animation CHAINREACTION, a pair of dancers find themselves drawn to each other and kept apart in very creative ways. It’s very kinetic and features some spectacularly spot on dancing and choreography from Dana Gingras and Sarah Doucet to go along with some equally fast paced animation. It’s a marvellous technical achievement.
This intricate dance is a highlight among the experiment works in SCC this year.
