Part of the series 'Speaking in Tongues' by Tadpole Repertory.
This film - the last in our series, Speaking in Tongues - is one part an unfinished conversation and one part an unfinished song. Together they celebrate the space created by an unanswered question, an incoherent utterance and a wandering thought.
"There's a chance that it's becoming
Something more than what it wants
But what it needs"

ABOUT THE QUARANTINE VIDEO PROJECT:
During the 2020 lockdown, projects were on hold, venues were closed, performances were cancelled. How did artists continue to create and express within their confines - literal and otherwise?
13 teams of artists, dancers, musicians and thespians picked up a camera and explored video as a medium - creating short films using shot footage; some marrying their performance work with film, others venturing into new expression.
The OddBird Foundation disbursed small honorariums to each creator, which have been further pledged in support of the larger community hit especially hard during the lockdown.
