Dance Performance Film

13 Empire Dance Performance. Bhangra On An LED Floor, Staffs, Turbans, And The Ballroom Around It.

Film by Adam Grumbo

The Vimeo title on this file is 13 Empire Dance Performance. The cut is about seven minutes of a South Asian reception floor: men in turbans on a pin-light LED square, staffs in the choreography, guests at candlelit tables, an ornate white loveseat on a navy and silver drape.

The camera works the floor from above and from the crowd. A second camera sits on a tripod at the edge of the lights in the opening hold.

Dancers at the edge of the lights. Film still at 1:19.

The film stays with that performance as it ran. The stills stay with the dancers and the room.

Who Hired The Camera

The floor as the number built. Film still at 1:49.
A tighter look at the company. Film still at 2:20.

Hosts hire a dance film when one company on the floor has to travel after the last number. The brief here was 13 Empire as the night played.

What The Camera Held

The ballroom around the LED square. Film still at 2:50.

A high angle looks down on the LED grid, red, blue, and green edge tiles, tan and green turbans, vests and ties, women in lehengas at the rim. Later the men hold khunda staffs across a purple-edged floor, the loveseat and white flowers on the raised stage.

The choreography from the seats. Film still at 4:07.

From the seats, a green turban and a dark vest move under a wireframe chandelier and a glittering LED wall. The last holds sit on a pair in matching navy embroidery on polished black floor, blue uplight on the drape.

What The Film Delivers

The crowd at the rim of the floor. Film still at 5:38.
A later number on polished black. Film still at 5:53.

A featured floor number needs a cut that can sit beside the rest of the night. Companies and hosts hire us when the choreography and the room have to read as the performance they ran.
