I am a movement artist and a filmmaker. Choosing to explore narrative through movement, while having limitations, is a real, raw way to convey physical emotion, connection, and expression. My dance film SPARTA explores a girl-bird cult casting out one of their newborns, and is performed by a 14-person cast of girls aged 14-18. This story, the rejection by the hands of your own, is very personal to me and people everywhere that are cast out because of a human difference. Many of these girls connected with this concept, and were able to lock into a full exploration.
