Shirley Clarke: Thinking Through Movement is the first film-philosophy book on “radical, pioneer, visionary’ (Dargis 2013) filmmaker Shirley Clarke and the films she edited and directed.
The book draws on film analysis, archival research, dance and film theory, and creative practice expertise, to think through Clarke’s work as a dancer turned multi-award-winning editor and director of dancefilm, fiction, documentary, and video art. This account of Clarke’s creative oeuvre offers the reader insight into a too long overlooked filmmaker. Its creative practice and distributed cognition framework provides tools for dismantling some of the exclusionary aspects of authorship theories and offers a novel method for analysis of films, filmmaking practices and cultures of film production.
Dr Karen Pearlman is an Associate Professor of Screen Practice and Production at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, and co-director of The Physical TV Company. She writes, directs, and edits films and has won over 30 highly competitive awards from peak industry bodies and film festivals. Pearlman’s research into creative practice, cognition and feminist film histories is widely published and her ideas about editing are having global impact through multiple editions and translations of her book Cutting Rhythms. Like the subject of this monograph, Shirley Clarke, Pearlman had a distinguished career as a professional dancer before turning to film editing and directing.
