Jane Masons Creations - Film
Jane first began making dance for the screen because she wanted to find ways to respond to the themes of parallel realities that kept coming up in her work. She wanted to juxtapose narratives, use abstraction, explore the body’s movements in detail and within different contexts and find a language where qualities of movement in relationship to time and space could exist in particular ways. She also wanted to make work that could reach more people than she felt able to as an individual artist with her stage works and to try and transport them emotionally.
