Around the Corner (Goa)  is the third film in a series of dance films created on the streets after Around the corner (Torres Vedras & Brussels). It’s a dance film that uses the city as its inspiration but whose abstract narrative is pushed forward by the relationship between two protagonists and their encounters with each other on the streets. With two screens we create the illusion of multiple street corners across the city. Our two protagonists tap into their vast choreographic archive to dance with the city which in turn inspire new improvised movements inspired by the architecture and the people. Filmed over 10 days across the city, there was an open invitation from the inhabitants to observe or participate depending on their desire. There was no need for people to do something as their presence already influenced the choreographies themselves. Around the Corner (Goa) is a dialogue between two dancers as they navigate the streets of Goa into their body. As they are guided and influenced by Goa’s architecture and the bustling streets of the people themselves, they create a physical dialogue that taps into the subconscious heartbeat of Goa itself.

Conceptualized and performed by Davis Freeman in dialogue with Preethi Athreya/ Filmed by Sharan Devkar Shankar
