Groundswell

Video, 5:05 min, 2015

Camera, Sound, Edit: Kym McDaniel // Performers: Laura Ashley, Marissa Jax, Jackie Kostichka, Miranda Zielinski // Choreography in collaboration with the performers.

Groundswell is the culmination of a 10-month process developing a dance I choreographed for stage, Transits, into single-channel video. Juxtaposing external geographies (mud, water, sun) with internal geographies (sadness, frustration, hope), the film speaks to the resiliency of a body moving through grief.
