In November 2025, artist and theatre maker Felicia Kaspar invited us to explore our own creativity through movement workshops during her art residency, and with her guidance we were encouraged to step into unfamiliar territory and experiment with movement simply to see what might emerge.
The Crypt, together with a strong soundtrack and just enough people to sense the presence of others without it feeling crowded, created a distinctive atmosphere. Felicia worked with this environment in a thoughtful way, allowing the space itself to become part of the exploration.
Thank you so much to Felicia for allowing me to witness her art residency! Going into this, I had no idea what would come out of it. I simply took my camera and went with the flow. This film is a personal reflection on everything I saw and felt throughout the process.
Thank you to all the performers, being in your presence was indescribable. To me, it was an experience I will never forget.
Thank you to Damsel for letting me use her music in this film. For me, her work deeply resonated with this project.
