DANCE ON FILM
Our long time collaboration with video artist Jonny Reed (www.puck.tv) has produced more than 30 dance videos, filmed in half a dozen countries with over 12 million hits online. Many of the short videos have been selected for international film festivals with some, such as Hand Dance, Folk You and Into the Water, acting as a catalyst for live performances.
