Looking Up From The Screen

During lockdown it was all too easy to become absorbed in technology, ignoring those around you. This short video is of two sisters, breaking free from the digital screens and reconnecting with each other, while still being confined behind the "screens" of our homes.

This piece was made as part of Dancefest's challenge to make a #HalfAMinuteMovie, a 30-second film that rather than focusing on what lockdown had stopped you from doing was inspired by a new skill, a first, an exhilarating new experience, or a life lesson learnt at home.

The work was created as part of Arts Council England's The Way I See It project which captures the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on the lives of children and young people, articulated in their own voices, through their own creativity.

Dancefest is a community dance development organisation in Herefordshire and Worcestershire, using the power and joy of dancing to enhance people's lives.
