Long Dance is an homage to the body. It is an inside look that shows the treasures that it possesses. It is rediscovery and acknowledgment. Is the empowerment of the body, of everything that builds it over time and a way to honor it. It is constant movement, wisdom and experience.Dance film resulted from a creative process and body lab of the work with seniors and elderly people in vulnerable nursing homes in marginalized zones in Hermosillo, Sonora, México. This project begins with the body as a starting point to explore all physiological and emotional possibilities of the elder participants. More than 100 elders participated in this project and many of them star in this dance film. In this process the main objective was to reconnect with their body as a container, to find the way to empower themselves through movement and to honor their body embracing all the living experience through their lives.
