Coven - Season 2, Episode 7: Maya Deren
Description
In this episode we welcome experimental filmmaker, choreographer, dancer, film theorist, poet, and fearless explorer of ritual consciousness, Maya Deren into our Coven. We discuss her groundbreaking work in avant-garde cinema, her fascination with Voudon practices in Haiti, her complex relationship with ethnography, and her revolutionary ideas about time and perception in film. We also explore what it means to exist at "that point of contact between the real and unreal," while unpacking her powerful natal chart, full of Venus-Sun energy.
