DANCE FILM

CONCEPT

DANCE FILM BASED ON MY MEMORIES OF A PAST LOVE RELATIONSHIP.

QUESTIONING HOW IT FEELS LIKE TO BE TRULY IN LOVE. HOW IT IS TO EXPERIENCE SUCH A BEAUTY... OR COULD IT ALSO BE NOT SO BEAUTIFUL AS WE ALL BELIEVE?

FRAMING THE DREAMY SIDE VERSUS THE REALITY SIDE OF LOVE, HOW IT FELT FOR ME BACK WHEN I WAS TRULY IN LOVE. SHARING THE EXPERIENCE OF LOVE, AND ITS SO MANY DIFFERENT STATES.

Maybe spokenword, my own poetry (read by the performers)

- SPACE

2 locations: nature (Brussels) and white space 

Nature: calmness, dreamy mood 

Brussels, the real spots where I experienced the memories (reliving, recalling the past)

In the nature: sub locations as the woods, the high grass and the river

the 3 specific locations stand for own meanings

Sunny, the use of real light

White space: calmness, realistic mood 

Lonelyness, the now/current
