Combines (1972)
One of the earliest events to combine dance on film projected in juxtaposition with live performances by the same dancers. The films included rehearsals of the sequences being danced in their final form on stage; portraits of individual dancers, and different interpretations of the same segment of choreography by different dancers intercut with images of them preparing to come on stage. Also included blown-up Polaroid close-up portraits of dancers.
