Barely Moving, but Communicating Volumes

“….more engrossing were three animated films of dance movement, called collectively “Zala Moves,” by Paloma Ayala, making dance continuity from line drawings of the dancer-choreographer Sasha Amaya. In one dance the viewpoint seemed to keep changing: were we seeing the top of the dancer’s head because it was angled toward the audience or because we were seeing the dance from above? Another dance kept a constantly flickering life throughout the body even though the dancer, vertical, scarcely moved her feet. The sense of paradox within each film gave it charm and fun.”
