For his animated tango film of 2 min. in length, Jean-Pierre created over1000 drawings. It has a tango score written by a member of Gotan Project. The film maker will also be with us and happy to informally address questions on the art of animation. ³Contrapunto² has been shown in several film festivals as has ³Double One². Please read below more about the film maker, Adriana, including a short exract from her thesis on her use of Jungian symbolism---but fear not! The film stands on its own as a beautiful art film which was especially beloved by Carlos Gavito, her maestro--and by me, too! Lucille 212 777 6053 Session 73 www.session73.com 212 517 4445 About ³Double One² The film maker and dance/performer, Adriana Pegorer, is based in London. Her work is interdisciplinary and collaborative. She is particularly interested in presenting social dance in a theatrical context. Her film Double One¹ has been shown internationally at Dance Film Festivals and Art Galleries (including Buenos Aires, New York, Oslo, Athens, Rome, Barcelona, Berlin, London, Mexico) and was recently show in at Cinetango, Canada (www.cinetango.com <http://www.cinetango.com/> ). The following is a very short extract from Adriana¹s thesis: JUNGIAN SYMBOLISM IN THE FILM "DOUBLE ONE" ..the dancer performs on a stage covered with sand. The use of Tango Argentino dance vocabulary is a precious aid to design precise patterns "all the attention is focused on the drawing that is carried out with the movement of the feet along the floor "... 'Double One' explores the conflict between Anima and Animus, with the woman dancing with her virtual¹ Animus. Anima is the female aspect in the male and Animus is the male aspect in the female: being able to merge the two is one of the most intricate components in the process of Integration. 'Syzygy' was the term applied by Jung when relating to "the complementary functioning of otherwise opposing elements".
