Invent Yourself
Invent Yourself
a dance narrative
A short dance film inspired by the Charles Bukowski poem: Invent Yourself. Translated into the physical form of rehearsal and training in a dance studio. The exploration of body, space and energy. The consistent trial and error a dancer experiences in a studio while attempting to push their bodies to recreate what they see in their minds. The deflation of confidence, to be picked back up by sheer determination and belief in themselves that hides somewhere within their vessel.
