Francesca Penzani's "Monte Cavlera" on Wigged

[Seth Thompson]

  Wigged Productions (http://www.wigged.net) an organization dedicated to

  making new and innovative art more accessible through broadcast and Web-
  based presentations is pleased to showcase online Francesca Penzani's 
dance

  on camera video, "Monte Cavlera."   A link to the video can be found on

  Wigged's homepage (http://www.wigged.net).


  Penzani describes her sensitive and beautifully executed work as, "a wish
  for the power to change the law of gravity and of impermanence. The camera

  becomes a mirror into which the characters gaze, in hope of controlling 
the

  events that unfold around them."


  Francesca Penzani began her studies in theatre at Teatro Viaggio and 
Comuna
  Baires in Italy.  She holds an undergraduate degree from the London

  Contemporary Dance School and an MFA from the Schools of Dance and

  Integrated Media at Calarts. Her dance on camera videos have been screened

  at festivals and museums internationally.

  Penzani currently teaches  "Video for Dance" and "Integrated Media" at the

  California Institute of the Arts as well as "Dance Perceptions" at

  California State University, Dominguez Hills.

  Quicktime 6.4 or later and a DSL/Cable modem or faster is required to view
  the video.
