"Take"
Where do art forms go to die, when ballet and modern are left behind do they dance together in the in-between before parting ways?

After spending six years as a founding member of Ice Factory Films, Jon is presenting Take as the first project of their next artistic and entrepreneurial endeavor. With movement inspired by William Forsythe they strive to be compared to post-modern choreographers like Alwin Nikolais, Merce Cunningham, and Bill T. Jones. Jon’s work with film began as an interest in using dance filmmaking as a tool for decentralization but the passion has grown to further the field of dance with post-post modern approaches to capturing motion.
Take allows the viewer to experience movement as a dancer by weaving the camera through the choreography in a single take. The unique perspective provided in this dance film seeks to accomplish the choreographer's goal of making the audience feel one with the creative process.
