SYNOPSIS

Silent Gestures explores movement’s ability to communicate a performer’s inner feelings and emotions, using the body as a form of language beyond the confines of words. The structured improvisation enables performers to express and reveal personal memories and internal conflicts through movement. The choreography explores an ability to break the notion of the position,  creating an authentic way of moving. The film was created to highlight male fragility, focusing on a young man, who is for whatever reason experiencing a transition period in his life. The work is deliberately ambivalent exposing the viewer to observed and unconscious movements of the body as well as gestural movement of an emotional expression which in itself creates sporadic shifts in mood and sensation.
