Nightscape

Sometimes when we’re alone, our imagination spills out of our bodies.
A young woman puts on a record and starts to dance. The music builds, her movement builds, and she transforms.

During Covid there was a lot of stillness. A lot of sitting with your feelings and letting them stew inside of you. But sometimes I’d listen to something so moving that I couldn’t help imagining all of these emotions spilling out of me through movement and colour and totally letting go—sort of like transcending your own body and giving into some sort of grand cinematic experience.

That was the concept that inspired this project, and directing and choreographing gave me a whole lot of life during a dark and unnerving winter.
