In this video, dancers move about a set designed by Mike Kelley, interacting and silently commenting on various choreographies: Martha Graham’s “mythological” dances, gestures derived from the observation of monkeys’ behaviours in Harry Harlow’s experiments conducted in the 1960s, and violent, “cathartic” behaviours described in the films by the psychologist Albert Bandura about the effects of televised violence on preschool-aged children.
