“Do you need a prompt from me?”
“No, thanks”. They were just fine using their imaginations for improvising - rivaled in size only by the massive trees surrounding us, dripping reliably toward the earth while simultaneously reaching eternally to the sky. I had the opportunity of shooting some footage with movers from ELLEvate Dance Company, based in New Orleans, LA. I only asked them to move in response to the breeze.
I so enjoy filming movers and creating footage that provides viewers a perspective they can’t otherwise access. It’s great for capturing dance works, behind-the-scenes footage, or the depth and ability of individual movers. This sort of footage makes the content stand out, it is striking. It captures you and invites you into the fold.
We could all use a bit more of that in our lives.
