Video/film to be completed August 2011 / stage work to be completed October 2011. An intriguing video short featurint three estranged characters with body parts wrapped in bed pillows secured with packaging tape like appendages - an armor of protection, a shield, an obstacle to overcome. Dancers create an environment with associated memories, dreams, and nightmares - an odd yet delightful spectacle. This is real but more, it is surreal, at once bold and delicate, humorous and loving, diving and daring. Pillows thrown, relationships caught! Collison course is part of the exhibition series - Dance Artist's Portraits on Screen - A Maida Withers Media Production.
