Living is a Doorway (2016)

Living is a Doorway presents a sisterhood of 7 fabulous female dancers, fashionistas and extroverts who are anything but ordinary.

The work explores the certainty of ageing with glamour, joy and non-conformity and invites you to witness the women’s private realities, and shared experiences.

With sharp shooting, hyper-real effects and to the backdrop of Debussy’s beautiful Clair de lune, this film invites you through many doorways, led by women who know how to do life's locomotion.
