Prompt: The task for this final project was to choose a former project that we created in class and revise or changeit, or completely make a new project. I chose to revise one of my former projects and make it more personal.
My short film “Metamorphosis” is a dance performance piece about evolution physically and spiritually. I created flowers out of tissue papers that are “blooming”, and the dancer is emerging out of the flower. As she breaks from the flower mold, she starts to dance and become a new person. This symbolizes her evolution from a past version of her to a present day version.
