Deborah VanSlet

President of the Studio XX Board of directors, Deborah Vanslet is a Montreal video artist primarily interested in the social relevance of art. As well as performing on camera, she has also developed a movement style behind the camera, shooting on-site dance videos and exploring storytelling through movement. Some of her recent work includes Weather Permitting (2001), a storytelling tape that responds to the chaos within the predictable cycle of seasons, How to Spot an Anorexic (2004), a darkly entertaining fireside tale about denial and the cycle of destruction. She is currently working on The Scenic Route, a tape that addresses the idea that slowing down and taking our time has become a rebellious act.
