This early dance video by Walter Verdin and Wim Vandekeybus (in collaboration with Thierry De Mey and Peter Vermeersch for the musical score) is based on Vandekeybus’ first three choreographies What the Body Does Not Remember (1987), Les porteuses de mauvaises nouvelles (1989) en The Weight of a Hand (1990). It is filmed in an abandoned movie theatre in Brussels.

In 1992, the Belgian video artist Walter Verdin (1953) filmed the improvisation of the American choreographer Steven Paxton (1939) on Bachs Goldberg Variations, performed by Glenn Gould. Paxton performed the improvisation between 1984 en 1992. The film marked the ending of this cycle. The video above is an introduction of Steve Paxton on the Goldberg Variations. The film by Walter Verdin will be available on DVD soon
