Demo Model

Description:

Elizabeth Chitty’s performance Demo Model explores the affinities and discrepancies of how information is relayed through live and recorded actions. In the twenty-minute work, Chitty engages dance, image (represented by video, instant photography, and Xerox copies), and spoken script as modalities for language and communication. This inquiry into semiotics and the body also incorporates semaphore, sign language, and punk rock dancing.

Demo Model was performed as part of Teleperformance, organized in conjunction with the Fifth Network Cinquième Réseau Video Festival in Toronto, Canada.
