Deveril,
Please post your manifesto to the list (if that seems appropriate to you
and your collaborators). As a long-time dance film/video person, I know that I
would be interested in where you are hoping to push the field. I suspect others
would be too. Because of the gypsy nature of my life as an itinerant dance
artist, my projects are almost completely independent, with me as choreographer,
director, camera, and editor. I would welcome opportunities to hear from
colleagues, even if only in elcetronic form. Thanks, Kent De Spain
