How we feel about the choreographic/creation process too. Thanks Pina!
Paul Antico has been photographing dance professionally for over 15 years. He has been published in Dance Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, Dance Spirit, and more. More recently, he has expanded into dance films. He collaborated with Liz Terschuur on the film, remember the grass… created for Edition # 5 of Dances Made in August 2011.
We wanted to see what he is up to…
What are some projects you are looking forward to in 2013?
In the dance world I am looking forward to doing much more video. Earlier this month, for example, I shot a music video for Blue13 Dance Company in an exotic train related location that I am now working on in post. I have lots of ideas for cool dance oriented films.
In addition to dance projects, one other project I am looking forward to completing this year is a full-length documentary about the Immaculate Heart Nuns from the 1960s, a fascinating story about how over 400 nuns left the Catholic church at one time. The issues are as relevant today as they were then.
I am also looking forward to expanding my “Dance Expressionism” series that are revelations of the energy of dance, as if it were able to be made visible. I have been shooting these types of images for quite some time and my hope is that the series will show an embodiment of the feeling of dance in the viewer that goes well beyond the visual representation of the still or moving image they see before them.
I look forward to photographing/filming different styles of dance that are not on the typical concert/performance dance scene such as free form “conscious dance,” which is related to Gabriel Roth’s 5 Rhythms and has expanded beyond e.g., Medicine Dance.
A dance performance that changed my life:
When I was in my 20′s I saw my first real dance performance. I was visiting my sister in Missouri and I saw the Kansas City Ballet doing the Nutcracker. I had such powerful feelings welling up that I found myself crying and was completely amazed and surprised at my own reaction! My lifelong love affair with dance began at that moment!
A book that changed my life:
A life-changing author for me is the philosophically erudite Alan Watts. He died in 1973 but his legacy and wisdom live on, as relevant today as when he was alive and in the center of the philosophical/spiritual/psychological world of his day. For me, Alan is the Rosetta Stone that links Eastern and Western thought, from Wittgenstein to Vedanta, from Christianity to Zen Buddhism, and beyond. One of my favorite books by him is The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are. He has written numerous books and thankfully, the audio from his many lectures, was often recorded.
A film that changed my life:
Groundhog Day is quite a favorite as it shows how, with attention, in the movie’s case by enforced repetition, one can slow down and smell the roses, see what’s really there and be truly in and relating to the moment. We all get another chance every day, though not exactly as in the movie. There is a quote from another favorite movie that relates: “Each morning when I awake, like a scholar at his first class, I prepare a blank mind for the day to write upon.” That one is from Circle of Iron.
A photographer that has influenced my work:
I love lots of other photographer’s work! Some of them are: Barbara Morgan, Howard Schatz, Jeanloup Sieff, Jan Saudek, Patrick Demarchelier, Marty Sohl, Henri Cartier Bresson, and Jay Maisel, among others. They influence me in subtle ways; usually it’s elements of and/or styles of specific images that make me take note. I am often drawn to the energy or feeling of a photograph more than stylized elements yet, when both converge, it is quite beautiful.
Current pop-culture obsession(s):
I was obsessed with Lady Gaga—but now it’s Psy and Gangnam Style! I particularly love the whole craze about it and how it shows the world as a community. I particularly like this African version. You gotta watch the whole video—it is so joyous and fun and they do it with fabulous African dance style! Great energy!
Favorite restaurant in LA:
Nyala Ethiopian Cuisine is one of my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles. I typically have my birthday dinner there, as well as any other excuse for a dinner I can make up. I love the ambiance, décor, the frankincense wafting through the air. The food is so delicious, it’s addictive! Doro Tibs is my favorite dish.
Favorite method of procrastination:
Procrastination is my super power! I have an arsenal of procrastination methods: Facebook! Regular books! Handbooks and Manuals! The Internets (á la Colbert)! Making lists of things to do so I can ignore them and make more!
