For Wilkins, the making of screendances is at once emergent, alive, and continually evolving. It is an organic extension of his art investigations and making that affords him an alternate platform for the creation of intermedia projects – projects resulting from the merging of a wide range of artistic disciplines, including film, video, music, design, and technology. Although film and video has long been a part of his work – one of his more notable screendance projects being 2008’s Caution, a project made in collaboration with Susannah Newman – the onset of a pandemic reality in spring 2020 ignited a renewed interest in the creation of projects that are meant to be witnessed and experienced as screendances, and projects not necessarily intended to be incorporated into live performance.
