Listening to the dance

Kristen Shahverdian

The screendance Telephone pioneers a new form of audio description for dance.

In a blank expanse, a boat, a small wooden toy piano, and several clocks of various sizes pointing to different times are illuminated. In the boat sits Terry Beck, an older white man in a velvet jacket with coiffed hair. His eyes are closed as he raises one hand to his cheek and the other to the sky.
