Clothed in Muscle: A Dance of the Body(1981)

movie - first aired/released 1981-01-01

Directed by Walter Gutman

This is the most complete evocation of my raison d'etre—at least my avowed raison d'etre as a filmmaker. The star of the film is Claudia Wilbourn who you may have seen on TV. She is one of the founding mothers and champions of Women's Body Building. She is a sculptor and writer and felt as I did that the effect of body building when filmed nude as I did makes it look in frequent sections like antique Greek sculpture. The effect of filming a body building performance repetitively is to create a dance of the body. —Gutman
