Since the mid-seventies, Rosemary Butcher has been the UK's most consistently radical and innovative choreographer, developing her own movement language and choreographic form. Through her determination to remain an independent artist, her use of cross arts collaboration within the choreographic process and her frequent choice of non-theatrical spaces to present her work, she has changed the direction of British contemporary dance. dead reckoning is a choreographic work with three performers for camera and projection. Four video recordings are shown simultaneously on a freestanding structure of two intersecting screens via four cameras positioned in a square around the dancers. The interaction of the performers might appear legible as their hands are reaching out for other bodies, however the fragmentation of the space created by the screens means they never quite seem to connect to one another. The spectator has to set him or herself into motion and circle around the re-construction. dead reckoning offers the possibility of an overview, of a panoramic gaze on events, though hiding parts of it, the reconstruction of space through video leads to a fascinating fragmentation of sight and the body.
