About this Event
Known for her gesturally rich and layered movement, Brodsky invites quiet reflection and a tender confrontation with what it means to love, to grieve, and to remember.
your love: beside me (2025) is a triptych of narrative dance films that capture the life cycle of love. Divided into three chapters: walking, sitting, and lying, each work is at once tender and evocative. As a collection they are reflective and evoke memories of times passed. Each section of the triptych honors a different point in a relationship- from the giddiness of a first glance, to settling into a common rhythm, to the final good-bye.
The film production team was composed of Ali Kenner Brodsky (co-director and choreographer), Rich Ferri (director of photography and editor), MorganEve Swain (composer), and Jessi Stegall and Ilya Vidrin (performers).The making of your love: beside me was made possible with generous support from Movement Arts Creation Studio.
