In Terry Flaxton’s LineDance for Norman MacLaren, dancers whirl around the screen, abstracted by camera effects so that shoe buckles and skirt hems are exaggerated and the dancefloor becomes a field of pixels.
The piece is inspired by Norman McLaren’s 1968 work Pas de Deux. It celebrates the way the human body describes movement; the paths of the dancers make familiar patterns that we recognise in the world around us. There's also a pleasing description through the line the dancers take that plays with the frame.
