Urban Skills #5: Secretarial

Description:

In Urban Skills #5: Secretarial, Margaret Dragu and Cornelia Wyngaarden play two new workers at an office. Throughout the seventeen-minute single-channel video work, they perform movement sequences that parody the triviality of office labour. Answering the phone, sifting through boxes, typing, and answering to colleagues forms their choreography.

Urban Skills #5: Secretarial features appearances by Hank Bull, Kate Craig, Jane Ellison, and Eric Metcalfe. The work was shot and edited by Same Day Edit Productions.
