Thanks to our fantastic dancers and collaborators, our 52min dance documentary is finally done & ready to start its journey in the festivals!
synopsis:
Five international dancers: each with a unique style, diverse experiences, and distinct personalities. Yet they all navigate the paradoxes of their profession—listening to their bodies while mastering them, following instinct and taking control. Between impulse and control. Spontaneity and rigor. Sensation and representation. Can they reconnect with the origin of dance, that primal, pre-verbal space of true resonance?
For three years, we collaborated with five amazing dancers on breathtaking site-specific choreographies. Then, we invited them to meet in person to take part in a unique experiment: a self-managed residency. No project, no choreographer. Our camera followed them closely throughout this creative journey to the roots of their art. What could dance express when freed from external judgment or authority?
A film by Stéphanie Paillet & Nicolas Van Achter, featuring Maya Balam Meyong (BE), Jade Fehlmann (FR), Grace Lyell (UK), Francesco Misceo (IT), and Mike Tyus (USA).
