Moving Through Loneliness
In Moving Through Loneliness (2019) an intergenerational group of performers use movement and gesture to examine the isolation and loss that we face as we get older. This film draws its material from an installation that was created for the exhibition “We’re Still Here,” at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History. Moving Through Loneliness is a collaboration between Choreographer Cid Pearlman and Filmmaker Mara Milam, with an original sound score composed by Jonathan Segel of Camper Van Beethoven.
