Experiencing Interruptions?

My Unusual Morning

A young woman Tia (23years old) wakes up from her sleep in a state of paralysis: her consciousness is awake, she realizes her surrounding, yet her body is unable to move. This state induces a series of feelings: confusion, then fear, then panic, then determination to overcome fear and panic, then slowly the way to recovery. This short film will show her struggle to “wake her body up” to keep up with her awake mind through movement in a dance routine that swings between complete helplessness and terror to control and free movement.
The setting is different locations, which sometimes are imagined by her.
