Shiva, a dance film by Zachary Finkelstein

I am so pleased to be able to share this beautiful dance film by my long time friend Zachary Finkelstein. (I am also glad I was able to be part of this production, having designed and made the jersey dress for the fluid and long-limbed Emily Law.)

Sometimes movement is the most evocative way to express Shiva‘s stated subject: “The story of a man in mourning and his connection to the spirit of his deceased loved one.” Zack is not from a dance background; and yet, he artfully captured the essence of the choreography, just as Wim Wenders did with Pina. I thoroughly enjoyed this dance through the filter of Zack’s magnificent lighting and layered point of view. Well done and thank you!
