Artist and choreographer Madeline Hollander joins artist and film producer Ian Cooper for a conversation on how they develop movement languages within the cinema landscape, with a focus on the choreography of horror films. The discussion traces shifts in physicality—both corporeal and cinematic—from silent films to the introduction of “talkies,” examining how the synchronization of image and sound affected our perception of the body, narrative, and the uncanny. From Lumière brothers' Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat (1896) to Jordan Peele’s Us (2019), Hollander and Cooper will explore what makes audiences jump.
