Alchemy | A short DANCE FILM
Stories that aren't true to who we are feel like lead.
Where do you look to learn about the influences that shape your reality?
In your thoughts?
Your DNA?
Physical sensations?
History?
Cultural narratives?
The cosmos?
To understand ourselves in the way we crave to be understood, we must dissolve, cleanse, ferment, awaken, and transmute the stories that have shaped us. Only from within the depths of the process will the gold emerge.
SCREENINGS + FACILITATED DISCUSSIONS
This film is both a piece of art to view as well as an avenue for opening dialogue around the questions that went into my exploration.
If you are interested in hosting a 60-90 minute screening + facilitated dialogue, please book a call with me to discuss the context. See below for some of the people and places that have hosted so far.

October 9, 2026BAZA Screens Dance Films continues with its third edition — Movement & Voice — an evening of seven short dance and experimental films from around the world, plus two surprise videos of historic works by artists working with dance and voice.
How does a body speak? What happens when movement meets poetry, song, memory, and storytelling? The selected films move between forbidden love, disappearing rituals, family histories, our relationship with nature, and the stories we tell ourselves. From a search for gestures lost through technology to a hip-hop music video, this program brings together very different ways of giving the body a voice.
