This week’s episode is dedicated to the life, work and legacy of Simon Fildes who was an international award-winning film-maker, artist, curator and teacher.  This episode features the voices of some of Simon’s many collaborators and colleagues, who share their memories and reflections on both him and his work.Simon was a pioneer in choreographic approaches to editing and his work with frequent collaborator Katrina McPherson continued to push boundaries and expectations of the hybridization of dance and film. Simon was also a leader in the screendance field, facilitating networks and conversations that connected and inspired artists through both in-person and online initiatives. He worked as a curator for many organizations and  eventually established Screen.dance Scotland which showcased the work of other artists and filmmakers to a global audience. EPISODE CONTRIBUTORS:Ellen BrombergOmari “Motion” Carter & Anna Clifford (The Motion Dance Collective)Robin GeeAbby Warilow & Lewis Gourlay (Cagoule Dance)Ben EstabrookMitchell Rose SELECT FILMS:There is a PlaceDancer: Sang JiJiaCamera: Katrina McPhersonEditor: Simon FildesSix SolosDirector/Editor: Simon FildesChoreographer: Sang JijiaCoire RuadhProduced and Directed by Simon Fildes and Katrina McPherson BONUS READING:Repetition, revelation and transformation, the loop in video dance structure.Screendance Bingo (pdf download) MUSIC:Garden Music by Kevin MacLeod | https://incompetech.com/Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY 3.0 We would like to thank Simon’s wife Wyn Pottratz for her support of this episode and continuation of Simon’s legacy. –Got a question or suggestion?
