A group of dancers, choreographers, and creatives has launched a five-part series addressing the challenge of coping with change. Led by Jacob Jonas, the initiative revolves around the theme of beginning anew, emphasizing beauty and nature amidst a chaotic world. Released weekly, each film portrays overwhelming emotions and the healing journey. The first film, "Moncalvo", reflects Jonas's personal struggles with grief and trauma following his battle with cancer, showing how art aids in processing difficult experiences. Other films in the series continue this exploration of emotional burdens and the necessity of release.
As I navigated the aftermath of illness and trauma, art became my way of processing the darkness and rediscovering my light.
Each part of the series similarly channels the ways feelings can overwhelm.
These films confront the destabilizing, heartbreaking world in which we live by emphasizing beauty and a reverence for nature.
The initiative is the latest project for Films.Dance, a platform aiming to make dance accessible and explore its intersections with music, fashion, and film.
