"fleetinghosts": because some things cannot be unseen.
--How can we escape our darkest nightmares and visions, and to what lengths will we go to be relieved of them? "fleetinghosts" is an installation about that very subject created by Louisiana intermedia artist Amy Woodruff, fusing live performance, digital projection and handmade visual art.

"fleetinghosts": because some things cannot be unseen.
--How can we escape our darkest nightmares and visions, and to what lengths will we go to be relieved of them? "fleetinghosts" is an installation about that very subject created by Louisiana intermedia artist Amy Woodruff, fusing live performance, digital projection and handmade visual art.
"fleetinghosts" originated as a series of six video shorts created by Woodruff which she began working on in the Spring of 2009. She is now exploring this ongoing project as a performance installation. The videos will be projected upon a "fabric forest" that Woodruff designed and built: an art object which appears in the videos as well as in the live version. These videos gave Woodruff a chance to experiment with projection upon her own body as she moves throughout the "fabric forest," and with projection upon the "forest" surface itself. This excitingly visual and physical experimentation will be part of the live installation as well.
Both the projection and the live performance include original writing, poetry, and vivid descriptions of Woodruff's own dreams. "fleetinghosts" is non-linear in nature, but has a unique arc to it; it would appeal to audiences that appreciate contemporary performance art.
The performances at the M.I.C.A. Gallery are being presented as the opening of New Orleans' Four Humours Theatre Company's 2010 season. "fleetinghosts" is recommended for mature audiences; the running time is approximately 45 minutes.
