Biography: 

Robert C. Hammel is an actor, designer, director, and filmmaker whose career has spanned theater, dance, film, and multimedia art installations. Trained as a theatrical designer, his early career was spent as a set and lighting designer, at regional theaters such as: the Barter Theater in Virginia, Academy Theater in Atlanta, and the Area Stage in Washington DC.

Arriving in Minneapolis he worked as a commercial film producer/director, founding his own production company, Perimeter Productions in 1992. Over 100 international awards attest to Mr. Hammel’s professional capabilities.

Among the video installations he has designed are “Still Life" and “A Chording Too” two, music based, multiple monitor works, collaborations with composer Mary Ellen Childs. “Still Life” was hailed as "a virtuoso demonstration of videowall technology, integrating imagery with audio, humor, charm, and artistic balance.” “A Chording Too” received awards from the New York Film Festival and The Association for Multi- Image.

In the area of video/projection design for live performance, he has recently designed projects for: Nimbus Theater, DADance, Joe Chvala and the Flying Foot Forum.

Currently his Independent Film efforts are focused on Dance for Camera and Dance Documentaries. He has just completed the Dance for Camera short film “The Path is Hidden” with Ranee Ramaswamy, Artistic Director of Ragamala Dance Theater, and is in post production on his feature documentary “Solo:1X2”, scheduled to première in January of 2010. New projects include: “Dhvee” a film showing the creative collaboration between Ragamala Dance Theater in Minneapolis MN and Cuclamani of Pengosekan Village, Bali, Indonesia, to create a series of dance works telling the story of the Indian epic “Ramayana” and a documentary showing the creation of “Northern Lights/Southern Cross” a collaboration between Interact Theater in Minneapolis, MN and Australia’s Tutti Ensemble, arts organizations that serve the disabled.
