Private Project

Twenty, Forty, Sixty

“My mother went into labour at the Saturday Night New Year’s Dance. So really from my first movement in the world, I was
connected to dance.” In this evocative and intimate short film, a sixty-three-year-old woman tells her story of life through
dance, and dancing through life.
