In this episode of DANCE CINEMA we speak to Gemma Riggs, a London-based artist and filmmaker whose dance video YOU MOVE ME is "a call to observe and examine our everyday movements with a detailed eye".

In this podcast, Gemma talks about the origins of the idea behind YOU MOVE ME, how she went about finding and rehearsing with the participants, and what function does the multi-screen grid form play in the work. We also speak about some of the philosophical concepts that emerged through the making of the project such as the question whether there is a choice to our movements or whether they are conditioned or orchestrated is some way.

YOU MOVE ME will be screened on www.dancecinema.org/ from 15 June to 15 July 2019. To view YOU MOVE ME and for the full transcript of this interview head to www.dancecinema.org/you-move-me.html
Recorded in Zagreb, Croatia on 26 May 2019.
