Helix by Kuik Swee Boon | 2022 | Trailer

When T.H.E Dance Company approached me to create a trailer for Helix, a re-stage of their 2016 production, they gave me full control over the direction and content.

Since I had full control, I decided to follow my genuine curiosity. Instead of doing a trailer made out of nice dance footage, I wanted to explore the thoughts and reflections. I interviewed the choreographer to find out what the piece meant to him in 2016 and how that had evolved in 2022; I also interviewed 2 other dancers in the piece to explore their inner landscapes while performing the piece.

As someone who loves watching dance performances, understanding the thought processes of the choreographer and dancers added a more nuanced perspective to my interpretation of the piece.

I really enjoyed putting this video together - editing videos for T.H.E Dance Company always feels like a treat as it means getting to watch dance performances!
