Experiencing Interruptions?

Containment

This short film profiles the three stories of Okams Racer collective members Ana Sosa, Jenna Berlyn and Sam Krystal during the pandemic.

“We are all affected in one way or another by Covid-19. Whether it is loss of a loved one, stress over online school, or having your career on hold, all these issues cause us to feel the sadness, desperation, and frustration that come with containment. Dance unites us during these hard times, and we find solace in dancing together, while apart.”
