VIDEO: June/July, 2012 | Phenomena at Valentines Mansion
Monica was one of four dancers performing in the short film Phenomena shot on location at Valentines Mansion. After the filming, Monica collaborated with Juri in delivering a series of community workshops for adults and children, using the ReiMoves practice. Phenomena was a site-specific project from Japanese visual and live artist Juri Nishi and Portuguese filmmaker Tania Moreira David, that incorporated architecture, dance, film and visual art to reveal the memory of the movements of previous Mansion inhabitants. The project explored the relationship between the body and the architectural landscape, questioning memories and the sense of belonging. "In our film Phenomena we are looking for...a strong physical and sensorial relation to space and architecture." - Juri Nishi www.jurinishi.com www.valentinesmansion.com |

Monica has appeared in a number of DMo video art experimentia pieces. |
