A film by Andy Abrahams Wilson. Featuring Anna Halprin. Body Art by Eeo Stubblefield. Music by Fred Frith., 45 minutes. Open Eye Pictures. openeyepictures.com Description from DVD case: The body is our home, as is the larger body of the earth. When these two bodies move in harmony, a dance unfolds. Both are made whole. Reurning Home is a breathtaking and groundbreaking dance documentary in which Anna Halprin, pioneer of post-modern dance, uses movement as a means of connecting the individual to nature, and art to real life. In her eighties, Halprin moves along thresholds of earth, wind, water and fire, discovering lessons in loss and liberation. Whether surveying the charred remains of her home, or her scars from cancer and aging , Halprin finds beauty and meaning even in the destructive forces of nature. A testament to the importance of honoring the human and earth bodies, this unforgetable film takes us on a mythic and very personal journey home. ISBN 1-57448-099-5 |
