GAMUT was created as a container for range to be explored.
The short film was built in a living room in 7 days during quarantine as a part of Rosanna Gamson/World Wide’s Decameron Residency. The set is white and the colors seen in the film are created by placing different colored gels for stage lighting in front of the camera lens.
MOVES WITH FRIENDS

Film translation of a live performance work. The process for this piece consisted of meeting with Friends one at a time to build unique unison phrase work inspired by the present moment together. These unison duets then became linked with transitions from one Friend to the next. This formula is an endless structure for the piece to expand to more Friends with no beginning and no end.
TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU IN THE END
In celebration of EICHTERLING, a creative partnership born out of the more than a decade long friendship and collaboration between dancers Julia Eichten and Bret Easterling, TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU IN THE END is a poetic experiment about fate and inevitability that references an array of dance practices and choreographic legacies. A collection of vignettes, the film follows two beings in states of ongoing, radical transformation who sift through recognizable languages of dance and movement, tracing the sometimes forgotten or lost histories of dance. Shot in locations across Los Angeles including a farmhouse in Malibu, an industrial warehouse in the Arts District, and a laundromat in Westlake, the film explores the continuity of reciprocity and affection even as the boundaries between human and animal, real and virtual, and fact and fiction dissolve.
