How to Burry Cotton Balls

Still from film exploring the poetics of growing up with a "shadow" and learning to fly.


Synopsis: On the shoreline between past and future, a young girl hovers on the edge of adolescence. She is haunted by her shadow who acts as a mother figure symbolizing attachment, nostalgia, responsibility and a fading innocence. Loosely referencing the novel "Peter Pan" and derived from a painting completed in 2010 by the director/performer Jan Brugger, this surreal dance film explores the poetics of growing up and learning to fly.

Tobuggin' Still 1

Still from film which abstractly examines the paranoia behind tobogganing political rights (specifically freedom of expression).

Synopsis: If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? If freedom of speech is protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution, can American citizens express themselves without restrictions? In this surreal dance film, director/performer Jan Brugger, silenced by a monarch, abstractly examines the paranoia behind tobogganing political rights.
