HOMESICK is a short dance film and a viscerally tangible story of a woman and her compulsive, introverted desire for connection. Starring dancer & choreographer Danielle Agami (Batsheva Dance Company, Ate9), with music by Sara Flindt (ZAAR) and Directed by Samantha Shay, Homesick is a cinematic interpretation of Agami’s solo performance “Framed”, which is centered around a break up, and the nomadic life of an artist. Not only a rounded portrait of a dancer, but of a woman inhabiting an ever evolving emotional environment, Homesick utilises the medium of dance to externalise, express, and even explain the harmony, synchronicity, and stutter of the interpersonal.
