I am, Dancer,
Columbus, Ohio

I am chocolate swirl, I am neither here nor there, I will be a dancer, I am, I am. A flurry of images reveals unseen connections in a Middle American city and the surprising ease of communication through dance. Turning the Wheel Productions, an intergenerational dance theater company, joined the team for this video leading creative dance workshops in schools, community centers and service organizations throughout the city of Columbus, Ohio. The result is a portrait of Columbus in dance.
