“It was very powerful to have the three way interaction of physical dance, music and lighting. Impressed by the amount that had been achieved in 3 weeks. Congrats to all involved.”
“Loved how the space was used, the lighting and seeing the street dance styles in an immersive arena.”
“I found the use of lighting and set really exciting and I’d never seen it used in this way.”

About Her

Selected for TJLAND-FIVQ Film Festival, Mexico 2023
'The person standing before you in the reflection is both your biggest asset and your biggest fear. A moment of reflection. How do you see yourself? They say there are two sides to every person.
