Where does dancing
come from?
           Where does it go?





"THE DANCER FROM THE DANCE"
(formerly "Doesn't Fit in a Box")


One Line Synopsis

"The Dancer from the Dance" is a hybrid documentary that interweaves the personal and philosophical perspectives of around 20 contemporary NSW dance artists with choreographed and cinematic screen dance sequences that reveal ideas and images of where dance comes from, what it is for and where it goes when it leaves a dancer's body. 

One Paragraph Synopsis

For a general audience, the impulse to dance can be like the impulse to run away to the circus, a subject of mystery or romanticism.  "The Dancer from the Dance", a new documentary from the multi-award-winning Physical TV Company, asks dancers what it means to them.  Featuring around 20 NSW dance artists from under 9 to over 60, this latest work from world leading dancefilmmakers Karen Pearlman and Richard James Allen, is not so much a behind-the-scenes exposé as a behind-the-scenes sharing.  What emerges for the audience is a captivating portrait of the life force energy that passes through all beings as they progress on a journey from youth to age, but in this case one that is drawn in and channeled in special ways, as it animates the lives of the dancers.
