Action Jackson (2006)
Jackson Pollock is said to be the first "all over" or "action"
painter, wrangling paint to allow the images to come through on the
canvas. Dancers represent
both painter and paint as they manipulate each other into shapes and
movement, mimicking not only Pollock's movement but also the
movement of his paint.
