In a Dialogue is a dance-film-project, started in 2021, devided into several parts, in which the choreographer and dancer is dealing with different kinds of materials in the forest. In this first part she explores leaves and translates her experiences and observations into movements.
Her focus is our relation to nature, the meaning of contact and connection on a deeper and more intuitive level and the possibilities to find deeper contact also to oneself through contact with nature.
In this first video you can see leaves, marked by the seasonal changes, being the partner of her dialogue. The video artist Ramin Aryaie contributed his own artistic perspective through his way to film and cut the scenes.
