Pina


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1440266/

My good friend and I are collaborating a show together combining dance, film and photography.  Lines in dance and how it interprets on a print.  The movie "pina" was exactly what I was looking for in my research on choreography that is thought of as an expressive work of art rather than a story accompanied by dance.
