MOMENTUM is an ambitious awe-inspiring cinematic experience, a feature length dance film, that celebrates the universality and human phenomenon of dance across the planet in an unparalleled survey of dance filmed across the globe in all its magnificent individuality, invention, commonality and opportunity for connection.
With no narrator and composed purely of striking cinematic imagery from around the world edited to a powerfully emotive world music soundtrack, MOMENTUM juxtaposes a vast plethora of dance forms, choreographed into a unified cinematic experience, revealing the staggering diversity of dance and its cultural significance around the planet, its ties to ritual as well as personal expression, all framed within the human life cycle.
From breakdancers in Havana to Yagua tribal dancers in the Peruvian Amazon, the dancing ‘Ghetto Kids’ of Nigeria and the majestic dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet, dance plays a central role in our unquenchable need for release, joy, escape, community and esprit de corps.
MOMENTUM has an overriding message:
The human experience of dance, regardless of race, age, gender, physical or mental ability, economic status, religion, culture, or nationality, is a shared and ultimately, unifying one. Through dance, we can unite humanity.
