Forge (Dance for Camera, 2013)

Created, shot, and edited by Daria Kaufman | Performed by Lynn Huang and Melissa Kennedy | Choreographed by Erin Malley, in collaboration with the dancers

"Forge" is a short dance film that follows two sisters through an abandoned factory on a sunny day. In lieu of a traditional narrative, the film invokes a distinct atmosphere of listlessness and tension. Time becomes elliptical against a sonic backdrop of found objects and engines.
