  An American In Paris
     
 

ASOS - AN AMERICAN IN PARIS 2009 was a performance made for Place Project Edinburgh. The work was loosely based on the idea of spotlights inspired by the film An American In Paris. Participants were asked to re-enact images from a visual script in the performance circle provided. Scrim performed a soundtrack that responded to the performance activity.

 

An American in Paris is part of an ongoing research project called ASOS. ASOS, As Seen On Screen, remakes remembered props and scenery from films. The films examined are those that already have a crossover of dimensions ie films that deal with the content of a play within a play, or are real life stories retold. The titles of all the ASOS works correspond with the film titles and characters that they are linked to. The props take the form of physical objects, creating an otherworldly feel – a push and pull between the 2d and 3d.
