PROCESS

A dancer's body is their whole life. It’s not just the medium through which they make a living, it is the sum total of their history, and their method of creative expression. After a dramatic injury puts a professional dancer out of action for six months, she reflects on how our physical thoughts reveal who we are, perhaps even more than what we say. A meditation on authenticity, the creative life and facing one's own fears, Physical Thoughts is the document of an injury and a poetic distillation of wisdom for every artist. Shot on a mixture of 35mm and 16mm film, we were able to create ethereal and transportive images to maximize the impact of this complex story.
