Behind the Scenes : FOXTROTT - Shields

PROCESS & CONCEPT: A MESSAGE FROM OPTIMISTIC FUTURE

We set out to create a nuanced user experience that revealed the personality, the passion and the influence behind the work. Music, your biggest inspiration outside of dance, was to be the undercurrent on which to lay our choreographed presentation. We asked, how can we represent music visually to bring to the forefront the most defining characteristics of your choreography?

Behind The Scenes : The Kills – Doing it to Death

A chorus line of Lincoln Continentals rolling through a graveyard in the blistering sun, weaving through palm trees and dancing dudes.

Interview : Mikela Jay for Never Apart

Never Apart's June 2016 Magazine celebrates one year of Never Apart with exhibitions and features that flow with diversity and dialogue.

Shields represents the final chapter of a three-part video installment for FOXTROTT.

Premiered by NOWNESS – Shields moves through the dark and dances the motions of mourning a previous toxic state, and the emancipation that follows when you muster enough courage to embrace change and set new rules.
