Choreography + Music Selection: Christal Wagner

Camera & Edit: Kym McDaniel

Urban architecture and angular shapes of the body mirror one another, honoring place, space, and structures in various states of motion. Choreography was created under the East/West Freeway in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where the majority of the film was also captured. Partnering and urban transit create relationships on screen, otherwise unknown. The public and personal are brought to the surface and stage.
