| Summary |
Features 48 collisions filmed in ultra slow motion between dancers, boxers, martial artists, gymnasts, football players, wrestlers and street culture enthusiasts. This documentary goes behind the scenes and follows the production as it unfolds. Over 140 collisions are filmed in three days.The high speed video manipulates time and perception through slowing down movement to such an enormous degree so that the smallest gesture becomes monumental. In each collision we witness in vivid detail the reconfiguration of faces, limbs and bodies as they collide against each other with impact. How does the choreographer choose the physical types to be in this unusual performance? What makes a boxer's body different to a football player's? How will they manage injuries, a major concern? And how will it all look filmed at 1500 frames per second capturing every minute detail of each contact? This is an unusual collaboration between a film company, CM Film Productions, and a company known for taking dance to the edge, Australian Dance Theatre (ADT). Co directed by choreographer Garry Stewart and producer Carmelo Musca, it is based on a concept Stewart has been developing for many years and involves 100 participants chosen from across Western Australia and six professional dancers from ADT.PRODUCTION DETAILSThe Making Of Collision Course is produced by CM Film Productions in association with ABC TV. Director: Nick Dunlop; Producer: Carmelo Musca; Choreographer: Garry Stewart. ABC TV Head of Arts and Entertainment: Amanda Duthie; Executive Producer: Sally Chesher |
