Music composed by Fabrizio Cassol after the 'Maria Vespers'-Monteverdi

Editing by Ethel Shepherd and Marek Kralovsky

Synopsis: "VSPRS" is Platel's most outrageous dance work yet, one critic calling it "the weirdest, most shocking and provocative dance performance you will ever see." The artists trained by immersing themselves in images of psychiatric distress, and together carve an extremely physical and graphic performance immersed in religious and sexual imagery. In Sophie Fiennes' mesmerizing documentary, the dimensions of ecstasy and trauma that form the core of the performance are masterfully captured, whilst interviews with Platel and the dancers themselves add an extra layer of insight.

Synopsis: This short film explores how one sometimes struggles and fights against gravity and oneself to find the place where she belongs. On this explorative journey, many also travel with bottled-up emotions that may be kept hidden and never shared, but which very much influence the way one lives her life. It is making a way in this world ... it is finding a way to survive, it is finding a way to be free ... it is "Falling Upright Into Place." (Boulder, CO, USA)

Synopsis: In the backdrop of the surreal Pinnacles, the limestone pillars that rise from the sand dunes, the film conveys wandering souls, the life of the Spirits in the vast desert, the drama of humanity, life and death, exploration, and facing challenges. It is a journey and adventure where dancers encounter Korean shamanistic ritual objects such as a vase, a bronze mirror, and a knife through which transcend the different realms. Dancers in red and in white are juxtaposed. (Daegu, South Korea)

Featuring Amorphous Dance

Music composed by So Young Yang (sound)

Synopsis: A fleeting form of art, most dance choreography comes out of practices and rehearsals where many ideas and inspirations come and go, often being lost in the more structured stage presentations.

Filmed in Berlin and assembled in New York, this is the second work by Amorphous Dance, created by So Youn Yang, a video maker. (New York City, NY, USA)
