New Black

Directed by Robert Scott

Composed by Phillip Bracken

Choreographed by Madeleine Bulgin

Art Direction by Marianne Sardelic

Shot and edited by Robert Scott 

Music video clip, completed 2018

Duration 4 minutes 56 seconds

Three broody and ethereal waifs fluidly change between
impressionistic abstract movements and brutally literal interpretation
of the lyrics for a song that flips good and bad, right and wrong, black and white.

Shot using only natural light streaming through a side window in a darkened
dance studio and rendered in deep black and white, the piece is mesmerising
in its beauty, beligerence, simplicity and innocence. 

Featuring dancers Madeleine Bulgin, Natasha Nery and Kate Johnsen with
supervision by Kim Dresner from the Jazz Factory, Gordon NSW.
