Dr Karen Pearlman is the author of Cutting Rhythms, Shaping the Film
Edit (Focal Press, 2009) and its second edition Cutting Rhythms,
Intuitive Film Editing (Focal Press, 2016). She is known for her
pioneering work in articulating underlying principles concerning what
rhythm in film is, how it is shaped and the purpose it serves in
modulating cycles of tension and release for viewers. The focus of her
research and teaching, currently as Lecturer in Film Production at
Macquarie University and formerly as Head of Screen Studies at the
Australian Film, Television and Radio School, is on the connection of
theory and practice and making conceptual thinking accessible and
useful to practitioners. Many of her ideas about rhythm, editing, and
affect derive from her career as a professional dancer on the opera
house stages of the world with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance
Company, and dancing and choreographing in the theatres, lofts and
experimental dance venues of Australia, the USA and Europe. As well as
using her understanding of kinesthetic empathy in her theorizing, she
applies her choreographic sensibility to her own editing and
dramaturgy of the multi award winning dance on screen works made by
The Physical TV Company, which she co-directs with Richard James
Allen. In 2009 Dr Pearlman was elected President of The Australian
Screen Editors Guild (ASE). Karen Pearlman Biography, Weight & Height, Age, Nationality & Ethnicity
