Watch Ekman's Concise Guide to Natural Movement

Renowned choreographer Alexander Ekman ( ''A Swan Lake'' ) collaborated with his favorite filmmaker T.M. Rives to create a short dance film for the San Francisco Dance Film Festival's ninth annual festival. The result, a wonderfully whimsical, and at times deeply philosophical, guide to movement as told by Ekman and his friends, dancers Sarah Cecilia, Britt Juleen, Nathaniel Moore, and Ben Needham-Wood. The film is neither very concise nor totally natural, it is purely Ekman. This short film was part of a previous San Francisco Dance Film Festival season. Tune in this October to see select films from the 2024 festival.

Ekman's Concise Guide to Natural Movement is a 2018 special interest movie with a runtime of 9 minutes.
