Burden of Nonsense
Editor - Utah - 2020
In an otherworldy, uninhabitable, and nonsensical landscape, dancers hoist, carry, and toss burdens. In the wake of the Covid Pandemic “The Burden of Nonsense” explores perplexing events, threatening opposition, and treacherous insecurity. It inhabits a world where clarity or sound reasoning leads to nonsensical meanderings. The editing is embedded in non-linear narrative, montage, and abstractness. Though the ending solos were not choreographed together, they are stitched together in match cuts that exemplify our shared experiences of digression.
