Eny meeny miny humpy not your son nor your daughter eeny meeny rumpy-pumpy cling cling lamb for slaughter. Which species is the biggest predator? Behind seven lakes, seven hills, seven forests, there is a seemingly idyllic land. And in it, as if by magic, an unexpected meeting happens not only once but three times. The first time, as if from a flying carpet, we see an animalistic figure in the thicket. The second time, we observe a frisky animal herd colliding with otherness. For the third and final meeting, the moment when a man enters the ordered world of nature. How does the relationship between animals differ from the relationship between humans and animals? This is asked by the creators of the sixth choreographic film project by the Polish Dance Theatre.

Gluttony

2025 / Spain / 3:10 min

Music Demian Erasmo

Gluttony is a haunting exploration of the devouring mother archetype, embodied by two twin dancers locked in an eternal cycle of consumption and dependency. Through visceral contemporary movement, the film unravels the tension between nourishment and destruction, love and suffocation. Inspired by the Ouroboros, the choreography unfolds in a labyrinthine setting, where the daughter desperately seeks escape, only to find herself inevitably drawn back. The visual language plays with the abject—orange gelatin evoking amniotic fluid, fractured reflections, and tactile imagery that blurs the boundaries between bodies. It is not just about gluttony; it is about inheritance, identity, and the inescapable hunger for connection.

Blind Dreamers [•32°N 145°W•]

2022 / France / 6:08 min.

Director, writer, and producer: Sandra Geco

Cast: Jean-Yves Phuong and Sandra Geco

Video: David Masson

A visual fable with poetic notes that oscillate between reality and surrealism to reveals a universe mixing plastic, landscape and poetry.

We discover a couple looking like René Magritte's lovers who have exchanged their veil against a plastic bag.

In research of sensitivity, this video fable questions our rupture with the rest of the living world and our (in)ability to identify with it. 

We are this living being caught in a trap: how could we forget about it?

Drum Dance

2025 / France / 3:40 min.

Director Camilo Baquerre

Cast Karym Zoubert

Camera Person Nicolas Ferron

An old factory, a giant of iron and concrete, bears the scars of time. Its empty spaces whisper the silence of a vanished era.

A man appears, at first motionless and surrounded by shadows. He begins to dance, seeking light, sun and freedom.

The rhythm of the drums accompanies him, exploding in the final phase.

An abstracted film to contribute to the fight against racism. As an immigrant, I have experienced it first hand. This film showcases the beauty and richness of humanity. Nine cultures unite to make art. The dancers will tell you what brings humanity together. We must come together.

This project was funded by the Utah Film Commission, Utah Division of Arts and Museums, and BYU Arts Partnership.

All locations were filmed in Utah!

Hong Kong Ballet, Tutu Academy 

2024 / Hong Kong / 1:45 min. 

Creative and Art Direction: Pum Lefebure

Choreography and Artistic Director: Septime Webre

Director: Dean Alexander

At Tutu Academy, where tutus are the uniform, students of all characters (geeks to goths) express themselves through ballet—and bizarro hair. One odd day, a UFO lands and an alien enters the classroom. Eager to connect with the visitor who doesn’t speak earthly language, the teacher starts a dance conversation—followed by the entire class. At first, the alien struggles to learn the artful language, until he’s gifted a magical tutu. With fresh confidence, the green-hued stranger joyfully joins the dancing crew.

But just as the bond deepens, the alien must return to his homeland. With bittersweet farewells, the UFO departs—donning a tutu too. On his planet, a stark contrast to Tutu Academy’s vibrant vibe, the alien proudly presents tutus to his commanders, where they dance in celebration of the newfound connection with Earth.

OFFERING creates a meaningful and joyful convergence between the Migration Dance Film Project’s body percussion artists and emerging artists from dance (gigue, contemporary, street) and circus arts. The choreography uses the power of procession in Montreal’s urban borough of Little Burgundy to amplify its storyline of (re)imagined homescape in the era of mid-pandemic. The procession formed by movement artists from across communities weaves its way through urban corridors, neighbourhoods, green spaces — an uncoiled assemblage of nomadic storytellers anchored in the intimate knowledge of individual and shared experiences in unison. OFFERING imbues movement in stillness within our city and takes refuge in its powerful migratory patterns traced across our urbanscape.

NUVEM is a screendance piece created using the point cloud technique, exploring the boundaries of form and presence within digital space. Dispersed points are drawn to each other like suspended particles, guided by invisible forces that shape them into ephemeral bodies — cloud-bodies that emerge and dissolve in constant mutation.

The work constructs a sensory landscape where movement is not only choreographic, but also magnetic. As if held in suspension by an unseen magnetic field, NUVEM invites the viewer to immerse themselves in this rarefied universe, where the body’s contours are volatile and time unfolds in slow, continuous transformations.

The complex interaction between the different facets of an individual in conflict, where multiple personalities compete for dominance while the true identity seeks to assert itself. The work invites the viewer to reflect on the fragmentation of identity and the yearning for inner reconciliation.

Erosion alludes to the process of shaping through which bodies are traversed. Time, as an agent of molding and unmolding human relationships, deposits in each encounter supported breaths, creating passages and possibilities of cracks for access to the other, in an attempt to avoid calcification.

Cast Rennie Harris

Shot in part at 10,000 ft at Gross Reservoir in Colorado over a span of 12 years, this short film, featuring the indomitable Rennie Harris, shares a dreamscape glimpse into the vernacular dance form, hambone, or “Patin’ Juba.” This work positions the powerful resilience of the Black male body in the face of white surveillance and the survival and evolution of the dance/music form of hambone within and beyond the histories of enslavement.
