Document Summary
Originally a tennis player from toronto, geoffery pugen experienced an unexpected change in his life"s direction while attending school in north carolina when a professor recommended he take a theatre course. The influences from his time as a tennis player, such as being in touch with the motion of the body and bodily restraints and capabilities, were relatable to his newly developed interests in performance, photography and video artwork. Theatrical experience gave him an understanding of cinematic devices, and knowledge of artwork and aesthetics. His interest in the musical tours of the band, the grateful dead, provided him with inspirations from north american pop culture. Essentially the synthesis of trains of thought from two very different worlds resulted in development of many unique themes. His preferred themes often demonstrate a similar collision of worlds and the relationships between contrasting elements (pugen, 2013)1.
