ARISING (USA, 2008, 4 min.)

Washington, D.C. Premiere Facing the “truth” is how we evolve. A giant waterfall creates a challenge and serves as a metaphor for “truth.” Arising illustrates an opportunity to move from the lower to the higher self by going through “it.” No one can do it alone and yet one person is always first. Nine dancers dance, dive and fly through the waterfall, helping each other and transforming from un-individuated creatures to triumphant flying angels. Directed by Ben Dolphin.

Introduced by Deirdre Towers, Artistic Director, Dance Films Association, and Carla Perlo, Founder and Director, Dance Place.
