| Summary: | Viva La Dance is part of the film retrospective Unseen Cinema that explores long-forgotten American experimental cinema. These fragments of dancer imagery were produced in 1941, 1945 and 1946. Planned and directed by Sara Kathryn Arledge with early edit in 1948, later final version 1952. Arledge's loosely-connected technical and aesthetic experiments utilize dance in an effort to portray "time in art." The intent was to create a dance that could only be shown on film, a choreography uniquely different from any devised for the stage and one that emerged solely from the film medium.--Terry Cannon. Born in Mojave, California, Sara Kathryn Arledge spent most of her life in Pasadena, California. A prolific painter, Arledge took up the film muse in 1941, with her first film, "Introspection", establishing her as a pioneer figure of American experimental cinema. She made a total of seven short films between 1941 and 1983. --Terry Cannon. 35mm from 16mm 1.37:1 color sound 6:11 minutes. |
