LET IT FLOW

FREE/PAY WHAT YOU CAN

Explore what it means to connect, what it means to bridge, and to share, utilizing dance as a conduit. These films speak to two sides of movement and how it gives us purchase to translate experience. As MEMORY AS A MISSIONARY POSITION visualizes the estuaries between our both human and non-human ancestors through instinct and movement, RHYTHM OF OUR OWN documents the education of traditional dance as a vessel to traverse one’s homeland.
