Andringa's performances are almost installations in concept and presentation. The performance elements in Andringa's work allows her freedom to link her interests in song, choreography and video as well as incorporating the mis en scene elements. 'Old Myths' was especially prepared for Video Positive '91, drawing on the 60s culture from both sides of the Atlantic for its inspiration. Michelle Andringa's performance work was received as being 'essentially about the way we tell stories, it uses technology to advantage.especially in terms of temporal/narrative perspective. It works across many genres - film noir, trash films, novels, melodrama and contemporary soap.'


This project was assisted by the Australia Council, the federal government's arts funding and advisory body in association with Video Positive. The curator Brian Langer wishes to thank Electronic Media Arts (Australia) for its support, Eddi Berg, Gary Warner and the artists.
