Jack and Jill went up the hill ~ to fetch a pail of water…
this version of the nursery rhyme comes to mean so much more

and the Bridger Teton National Forest, Jackson Hole’s landscape
transforms this simple story into a metaphorical dance for what the
forest can inspire in all of us.   6 minutes

Blue’s Not the Word…, 2009

Blue’s Not the Word… is a short dance film about a woman’s relationship with her television. Kate Westerlund Kosharek performs this solo with a schizophrenic grace that makes this short dance film comedic, heart breaking and lovable at the same time. The film rides an emotional roller coaster that is universal to all of us at some point in our lives.

An excerpt of This Bird Has Flown,

a film made by Carrie Noel in 2007.

This Bird Has Flown is a fictional dance drama placed in the 1960′s that exposes the vulnerable yet quirky woman that John Lennon based the ballad Norwegian Wood upon. This film is rich in surreal design, Beatles references and is topped off with exceptionally visceral choreography by Rachael Lincoln. The original score is composed by Cody Westheimer. The 16 mm film was shot by Natalie Newman in 2006, San Francisco.
