000-May 2011 - 120 Model Tableau Vivant - Skylight One Hanson



Description:
Tableau vivant (plural: tableaux vivants) means "living picture". The term describes a group of suitably costumed actors or artist's models, carefully posed and often theatrically lit. Throughout the duration of the display, the people shown do not speak or move. The approach thus marries the art forms of the stage with those of painting or photography, and as such it has been of interest to modern photographers. The most recent heyday of the tableau vivant was the 19th century, with virtually nude tableaux vivants or poses plastiques providing a form of erotic entertainment.

Mini-Tableau #5 took place at powerHouse Arena during the Dumbo Arts Festival on September 25th, 2010. Again, 36 models were directed into implausible interaction. Models followed live direction, as vocalists and violins emerged from within the living picture. The performance featured an original a Cappella score by Sarah Small and Rima Fand, and stage direction by Adam J. Thompson.
Directly following the performance, a panel of choreographers, curators, and art historians (Jill Sigman, Mashinka Firunts, Danny Snelson, and Natalie Galazka) led a discussion about the contemporary intersection of performance and photography. The panel was moderated by Elizabeth Barragan and was curated by Lindsay Comstock.
