Dance improvisation. music : Alvin Lucier, data'chi, Alain Kremski

_1 film-maker meets 2 dancers. They discover each other dancing in an intimate improvisation moment. Without a defined frame of work, they play with 2 cameras, 1 fix objective + 1 in the hands of the dancers, moving and subjective.
They devellop a project about privacy - public performance, improvised – prepared choregraphy, video as a memory - tool into a dance - film project.
_The film-maker edits the recorded trio improvisation on a double-screen video (on the right)
_The 2 dancers learn from the video-edited trio improvisation and adapt it for a duet piece.
_The public performance (on the left) : 2 dancers are on stage + a big television (the ghost). The ressemblance of what is on TV and what is on stage, the continuously changing roles, the presence of the film-maker as a ghost in real movements, all this create a climate of formats interferences, and generates unexpected movements.
