Butterfly

A performance in remembrance of Brooks Thomsen Singer

On October 2nd 2004, the Meredith Butulis Dance Ensemble performed a new work commissioned to pay tribute to the life of a young man named Brooks Thomsen Singer. The performance was held during a daylong event held at a new childrenīs museum in Cohasset, Massachusetts called "Our World." David Singer, the father of Brooks, asked me to combine video that was shot by members of the audience and by my own camera to produce a video of the performance. The audience and viewer are asked to imagine that a butterfly, which occasionally passes through the projected video as a shadow, is fluttering amongst the dancers and the audience during the show.
