“We have exciting news! We have almost completed our first dance film, Body Speak, and we’re thrilled to share the trailer with you.

After two years of working with dancers in Maine, Spark was preparing for our first live show last spring – something we were so excited about sharing with the community.  Unfortunately, the pandemic caused us to change course as it became clear that gathering a large group of people indoors for a performance just wouldn’t be possible.  As an alternative, we formed a pod with 4 dancers and adapted one of the pieces to create a short film as a way to demonstrate the power of the work. The film explores themes of isolation, imagination, and the ways we communicate and connect when we express thru movement.

We worked this fall in collaboration with No Umbrella Media and it has been an incredible team effort with the completed film expected by the end of February.

As a friend of Spark, we wanted you to have a sneak peek today and we invite you to attend an early screening session online later this spring. These sessions will include a live Q&A with the director following the screening. Please contact us at if you are interested in attending and we will contact you with more details.

Many thanks for your continued support,

Michaela
