DRAMATIC, ARTISTIC AND EMOTIVE, choreographer and filmmaker Celia Rowlson-Hall's Unto the Locusts features the director herself in the first chapter, emerging from the fallen-leaf-laden earth and descending back into mirrored waters, Ophelia style.
I am enamored of the short and everything about it; the costumes, the headpieces, the soundtrack, the glorious fall setting at the start, succeeded by vulnerable nudity and a wide-open ocean sky. And lastly, pointe work amidst candles. Of course, at the heart of the film is dance.
December began this week, almost requiring a shift in vibe to a more festive sort. With colder days and shorter nights, I'm not quite ready to let go of fall's moody brooding. Especially not with inspiration like this.
