The RAW movement project is something Micadyn and Shay have been very excited about for a while now. As artists, we all have something that drives our artistic flavor, but rarely do we get the opportunity to embrace and celebrate that individuality. RAW movement is a project that aims to shed light on the difficulties and challenges we face as well as the moments that bring joy and how dance is an outlet to heal, lift, and encourage us as we walk through this thing we call life. We invite dancers of all backgrounds to open up and be vulnerable, to be RAW with us as we try to create a place where we can celebrate dance! We want to see YOU, in all your RAW beauty!
Our experiences shape us, and they shape the way that we dance. This project is designed to capture just that! To participate in this project, we ask you to write up a small paragraph on how dance has healed, lifted, and encouraged you in your lifetime. It can even simply be why you chose to dance (it can be as broad or specific as you like)! There are no wrong or right answers, we just want to dig into what makes you an artist and understand/see what creates and inspires you! After the blurp is written we will come in and capture you in a RAW improv setting (movement being driven by what you have written). We feel there is so much beauty in those improved moments, and those moments are what empower and drive us as artists. It will be a 30-60 minute film shoot and then leave the editing to us! We will be overlaying what you have written ( meaning your voice will be recorded! ), so share only what you are ok with others seeing/hearing!
Our hope is that as we share our RAW moments with each other we will find a community of people where we can celebrate together the individual stories that make us who we are: DANCERS!
As a participant, you will receive full access to your film to add to your portfolio and use how you like!!
The cost for this project will be $50 + Rental Space Fee if applicable. A rental space fee covers the cost of studio space and can range from $0-$35 depending on the space selected. This part of the fee will be charged at a later date if applicable.
