Mu-Ta-Tion
2010; Animation with Live Score
Using animation from her film Nexus and inspiration from a 2003 dance/animation performance with Dawn Jolla Jackson, Mu·ta·tion was presented at Disjecta in Portland, Oregon in 2010 within the Electrogals performance. Rose edited and animated to an original score by Heather Perkins.
“A spiky mix of gesture, modern and social influences with a tough cookie veneer, the work owes its visual collaborator, animator Rose Bond, for its quirky humor.” —Willamette Week
“Bond’s rough sketched researchers, dividing cells, and striking hand-painted 35 mm film frames are projected on an 8 by 4 foot screen during the piece.” —Kelly Clarke, Willamette Week
“Mu·ta·tion uses interactive animation technology to examine how genetic research affects the human community. Heady stuff, but Jackson’s movement—drawn on five gifted dancers—is packed with her trademark precision ballistics, and animator Rose Bond’s pulsating visuals give lush texture to Jackson’s friction-and-flow dynamics.” —Catherine Thomas, The Oregonian
