Experiencing Interruptions?

S T I L L

“STILL” is a film of dance and movement, spontaneously created at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna, Austria. This is an improvisation of both dance and camera that weaves a unity of spirit and flow into a fabric of completeness at a singular moment in time. The dancer must shed what he knows and instead, let his emotions define intuitive movement, as they evolve into a timeless unfolding of infinite balance and flow. The lens moves with an empathy that immerses the viewer into the spirit and aura of the dancer’s feelings, coalescing movement into a visual experience.
