Kersti Jan Werdal and I met at CalArts in 2017 and immediately became good friends. My interest in film from a dance perspective and her interest in dance from a film perspective has created a strong creative bond and curiosity between us. Contributing movement to this Miu Miu campaign was an incredibly fruitful experience and I was very interested in Kersti's inclusion of ambiguous text and narrative within the context of being in down time on a set. This process felt second nature to me since I'd been recently working on a dance piece about "Downtime" - the liminal space of contemplative waiting or hanging out. Kersti and I were thinking about the before and after the camera is rolling. For the movement generation, I worked a lot with chairs, rolling chairs, oranges, notebooks, glasses of water, to find gestures in relation to objects and surfaces that can support parts of the body.

Role: Movement Research and Consultant  

This campaign was such a pleasure to work on and to be there in person on set for. The prompt was "park bench" and from there Kersti and I explored possible props and movements that could be happening in the park. There was the theme of a treasure hunt we were working with - maps and directions in the poetic text Kersti had the models say, along with movements that felt suspended in time, suspended in place.
