About

Splash and Leap! is an expressionistic, contemporary/ballet dance piece incorporating art influenced by the artist, Ashvin Harrison.

Directed and choreographed by Janelle Claassen
Imagery and videography by Lauge Sorenson.
Lighting design by Wilhelm Disbergen.

In-between scenes a video projection of paint being splattered on a canvas is projected on the cyclorama. The dancers move on the stage in the same shapes and lines that the paint has created on the canvas. Once all the paint has been splattered on the canvas the image projected on the cyclorama then zooms out to reveal a full image of a ballerina doing a leap (firebird) and the paint splatterings form her colourful tutu.
The colors that appear on the canvas are merlot red, burgundy, bright red and gold shimmer (inspired by Ashvin Harrison’s work Glamorous Gala Dance).

The dancers move on the stage in the same shapes and lines that their paint has created on the canvas. Once all the paint has been splattered on the canvas the image projected on the cyclorama then zooms out to reveal a full image of a ballerina doing a leap (firebird) and the paint splatterings form her colourful tutu. All the dancers finish in the same pattern as the colourful tutu and the artwork is now complete.
