A visit to the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden with Mishka and Rebekah to make a dance film.
We explored a high angle view looking down on bodies rolling down hills. The rolling body picking up leaves and sticks as they cling to the dress was beautiful. The colours of autumn leaves were beautiful.
Some modern twerking dance moves made for an intriguing juxtaposition with the old English dresses and English style gardens.
Mishka's enthusiasm and glee when creating art is infectious and powerful. Her excitement can feel overwhelming and volatile, but it is a feeling that often arises in the excitement of making art, and it is good to become comfortable in its presence, allowing the work to flow with it, rather than against it.
