Hiring Paddy Kennedy’s Hobart based public relations company proves to be an inspired choice for Pastor Rayfinger and his mega church, Coming Now. Paddy Kennedy and his trouble prone team of ex-SAS drone operator Helen Troy and mysterious British aristocrat, Robert Malahide are technology savvy and expert at spending Coming Now’s wealth. But would you let them and their mates like cop Dinny Dinham anywhere near a church or politics? This is a story that combines love, tragedy and comedy in beautiful Tasmania. Religion, money and power can be dangerous bedfellows as Paddy Kennedy and his team use all the latest technologies such as drones and social media like Facebook to manipulate Australia’s next election. But the relationship between Pastor Rayfinger and Kennedy’s PR team becomes frayed as each spies on the other and the outcome is murder. Then, it is market day in Hobart.

The Oxford Handbook of Screendance Studies offers a full overview of the histories, practices, and critical and theoretical foundations of the rapidly changing landscape of screendance. Drawing on their practices, technologies, theories, and philosophies, scholars from the fields of dance, performance, visual art, cinema and media arts articulate the practice of screendance as an interdisciplinary, hybrid form that has yet to be correctly sited as an academic field worthy of critical investigation. Each chapter discusses and reframe current issues, as a means of promoting and enriching dialogue within the wider community of dance and the moving image. Topics addressed embrace politics of the body; agency, race, and gender in screendance; the relationship of choreography to image; constructs of space and time; representation and effacement; production and curatorial practice; and other areas of intersecting disciplines. The Oxford Handbook of Screendance Studies features newly-commissioned and original scholarship that will be essential reading for all those interested in the intersection of dance and the moving image, including film and video-makers, dance artists, screendance artists, academics and writers, producers, composers, as well as the wider interested public. It will become an invaluable resource for researchers and professionals in the field.
