Pleiades was originally a dance choreographed for and performed on the stage, but it was a deeply personal piece that was begging for a more narrative treatment on film.
Together with musician Lindsey Ryan and my choreography partner, Kate Micham, we were able to explore the more nuanced and inferred parts of the stage performance through location, flashbacks and a pretty sick technocrane.
