Why I chose to make a dance based fashion film

When I was doing research into my fashion film , I was automatically drawn toawrds fashion films containing dance and movement.
Dance has always be an art form that has really spoken to me, you can convey so many different emotions without the need for words, and often express what words cant.Which is I think I enjoy it so much. I love when dance tells a story, it can make you as the audeince laugh, cry, hate, emphasise and so much more!
Dance has always been a part of my life. I danced ballet when I was young, but gave it up (which I regret). I did gymnastics, and cheerleading before I started dancing Freestyle Disco at 12. I thoroughly enjoyed this and danced until I finished sixth form at 18. I also enjoyed dancing in musical productions all throughout high school and sixth form. I miss dance allot which is another reason that I gravitated towards creating a dance based fashion film.
One of my favourite ways to enjoy dance is through physical theatre. This is a mix of Dance based movement and transitions combined with acting. Physical theatre is incredible to watch when done well. The actors use their bodies to to make props on the stage such as tables or lamps, become moving vehicles such as cars or trains or as ways to transition from scene to scene. My favourite theatre companies include Frantic Assembly and Kneehigh Theatre Company.
I am very lucky to have a sister who is a talented dancer, to star in my fashion film. She dances Ballet, Modern, Jazz, Tap and Point. I love watching her dance and I think her style of dance will work hand in hand with the ethereal and magical themes in my film.
