Filmmaker Statement

The Meaning of Movement came about due to a desire to understand more about movement practices, dance, and what it means to the individuals who practice them. I loved how people's eyes would light up when I'd ask them to define their passion of dance and movement beyond simply, "what it is." The subject fascinated me because in many ways, dance and movement arts are their own languages that can't really be described simply through words. I set out to collaborate with an artist to create an experiential piece that will hopefully bring a unique format for the subject to tell their story. I was fortunate to be connected with the insanely talented Xavier Lewis and was able to have some great conversations and collaborate with him on this piece.
