terra (installation) by Cobie Orger with Alice Cummins

Cobie Orger's video iteration of terra was selected and shown as part of the International Ecoperformance Film Festival (IEFF) Brazil, Argentina and Romania; and has also been selected for Light Moves Festival, Limerick, Ireland in November. Our collaboration has been full of richness. 

Ecoperfomance 

“In the field of the performing and audiovisual arts, ecoperformance is a concept coined in 2009 by the Brazilian choreographer Maura Baiocchi and elaborated by the German director Wolfgang Pannek. Ecoperformance understands environment and body as inseparable dimensions of performative creation. In ecoperformances, the environment constitutes a living play of interactive presences and forces, among which the human body. Therefore, ecoperformances and ecoperformative films strive for non-anthropocentric forms of dramaturgy and cinematography.”

Inspired by the live work of the same name by influential choreographer/performer/educator, Alice Cummins, this immersive screen work weaves sound, sculpture and dance into a choreographed sequence of topographic and physical landscapes expressing relationship with, and concern for, country. Unveiled through three disparate perspectives, encounters of tenderness and disquiet are swept into the tectonic forces at play.
