We are ECSTATIC to announce that "WannaBe", the film Jessica Taylor and I made together was just awarded the 2nd Jury Award in the Dances with Camera Competition during the 7th edition of Short Waves Festival in Poznań, Poland!!!
"For exceptional use of the idea of public space by means of inviting passers-by and, as a result, crossing the boundary between professional dancers and common people. For redefining dance as a community of movement and a meeting area in spite of ongoing differences and social divisions. For a comprehensive approach to the problem of identity by means of using dynamic editing (faces versus bodies) and a contrast between scenography (boxes) and natural surroundings of the city."
Thanks to dancers Kyle Rostan and Sarah Zielinski and interns for the project Davonna Batt and Sarah XiZhu.
