Received this one a bit ago, but here's my response video. In the postcard you asked how is life in NYC, so I thought a dance from New York would be perfect! Dancing in a park in New York City:
About Letters:
The art of exchanging physical letters and postcards is slowly dying for the fast information we can get from social media, messaging, and emails. This dance film postcard project was created as a way to keep in contact as well as showcase different locations around the world that we traverse. Alaine and Laura have been dancing and collaborating together since 2011 in Chameleon, Habitat, and now Letters. They have performed in New York City, Toronto, Edinburgh, and in so many different festivals. Letters is a unique dance film project of short dance films by using the postcards received as a catalyst and response to creating the short snapshots of dance film either as a soundscape, background, text, etc.
This is such a sweet and creative way to keep in touch! I'm not that great of a dancer, but always love seeing routines :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! We think anyone and everyone should enjoy dancing whether its in your room or on a big stage and everywhere in between. However, we hope with this project we inspire people to enjoy dancing but also to continue writing postcards and letters to friends and family while on the road.
DeleteThis is such a fun idea to do with your friend! More reasons to dance in different cities :)
ReplyDelete:-) We've collaborated on many projects together over the years. I think its really important to have another partner to bounce ideas off each other. We hope you stay engaged in our project and check out the film when its all compiled into a dance film.
