REEFER MADNESS #2

After the dancing girls, the dancing boys.  I took as my starting point a re-screening of a sixties play, Billie Whitelaw, factory, gritty and kitchen-sinky.  Anyway, the heavy rival for Billie's charms jumps from the loading bay and lands withstage-style 'cat-like grace'.  So into the moves - didn't THINK of West Side Story - just banged out some poses, which graduated into Capoeira, using white in the silhouettes.  I don't like the silhouette animations, typically of Romanian folk tales etc., they just seem cold and cheap.  The great thing about a silhouette is that it can expand to show a pose AND contract into - what?  Until it leaps out again. So, anyway, the experiment continues.
