Special Theory of Duet Dancing in Space + Time
Discover Captivating Film Stills
A story of two dancers discovering a partnership through space and time results in a wild visually spectacular clash of worlds and wit. Filmmaker Craig Baurley takes a new approach to visual effects; utilizing the talents of off-screen performers to directly enhance on-screen talent. The movement combines concepts of contact improvisation dance, gymnastics, slapstick, martial arts and partnering to arrive at a unique form of storytelling. Setting the scene is a mysterious wormhole that rips their worlds apart and intertwines them into a surrealistic dance floor. In keeping with the surreal world, the score, by composer Joseph Kaplan, features cellist April Guthrie accompanied by unusual sounds gathered during the foley process for the film such as dry-ice, sheet metal, sticks of rebar and rolled up rugs dropping on the floor.
