A wonderfully whimsical, and at times deeply philosophical, guide to movement as told by choreographer Alexander Ekman and his friends.
Ekman's Concise Guide to Natural Movement
San Francisco Dance Film Festival
Dance
Four documentary shorts capture real-life stories of dance in conversation with stunning natural settings. Artists share the transformative power of dance and its capacity to shape notions of identity and community through a deeply-rooted sense of place. A group of dancers express their commitment to cultural preservation, a world class climber conquers legendary ascents, immigrant children find common expression through embodied imagination, and underwater dancers share their unconventional passion. These stories of movement, migration, homecoming, and home-building unfold on the Pacific island of Rotuma, the cliffs of Viñales Cuba, a working-class Montréal schoolyard, and deep in the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean.
