Pedestrian 

"Pedestrian" was filmed in Cleveland Grover Playground in Ridgewood, one of the most diverse yet relaxed neighborhoods in New York City. Doron (choreographer/dancer) spent almost every day during the first six months of the pandemic going there. It became so important to see other people, and exist together in the shared backyard. With this project, we explored the possibilities of music, the moving body, and the eye of the camera. Somatic research and improvisation allow us to move with more joy and confidence and open the door for our fantasies. From there, out of a desire to connect with people, we start to see ourselves as part of larger systems that include others, friends, and strangers alike.

Concept, Choreography & Dance: Doron Perk
