Bojangles of Harlem (1936)
Danse Serpentine (1896)
These two films are part of the Dance with Camera programme http://www.ubuweb.com/film/dance-with-camera.html
In Bojangles of Harlem (1936), Fred Astaire dances along with projected images of himself in the form of shadows; there are punctual interactions between the images and him. The use of the replicated images and their change of scale add dynamism to the performance; in a way the self appears dancing with his others.
In Danse Serpentine (1896) by The Lumière Brothers, the dancer performs with a voluptuous dress where coloured lights are projected. The performance acquires a particular an attractive dynamism using simple gestures.
