Obsession & Interview FCAC-TV
1987 – Film- Interview with documentary of live performance. Maida Withers, on camera, describes her dance work, Obsession – America’s Obsession with Sex, FCAC (Fairfax Cable Access Corporation, Fairfax, Virginia). Obsession – America’s Obsession With Sex, is an interesting and powerful evening-length dance exploring the body inside the topic of physical/emotional human reltionships of love. This interesting Interview of Maida is mixed with visually sensual excerpts from the documentary video of the live performance of the dance, Obsession, at Dorothy Betts Theatre, Washington, DC. Both female and male dancers are sensual and engaging throughout the evening-length work. The final section related to the relationship of two men during AIDS, ends with massive spray of water in the air from the wings making all the dancers on stage soaking wet as they continue to move in “mourning” with sensual movements.
Linda Lewett and Judy Lowe were instrumental in the documentation of the interview and the production of the documentary art film.
