Breaking the Surface screens at the Fall 2023 New Jersey Film Festival on Friday, September 8

by Anita LaBelle
published 2023-08-30

Modern dance, although not narrative in nature, conveys stories that go beyond verbal communication and straight to the heart of humanity. Rather than dialogue and voice overs, dance utilizes energy, emotion, and connection to the physicality of movements to tell a story. The audience does not need to be an experienced dancer to understand the message of a film. Through movement, feeling takes over, and understanding becomes its own dance between performer and viewer. Directed and choreographed by John Evans and Ani Javian, Breaking the Surface is a dance film that addresses the threat of global warming and rising sea levels, especially in New Jersey.
