Experiencing Interruptions?

According to Movement (A story in 10 chapters)

In 2017, Thierry Thieû Niang, an important french choreographer, toured in eastern Canada with Cinédanse to offer intergenerational workshops to non-dancers.

According to movement is a cinematic journey where the thoughtful gesture merges into this great human choreography. Subdivided into 10 chapters, the feature film is a poetic and playful reflection on the beauty of the everyday gestures that define us as living beings. It also presents a portrait of Thierry Thieû Niang through is choreographies.
