The second phase of filming has just completed from June 7-20th. The shoot schedule includes: Physical Listening workshops with the dancers, Carrie and Terry; equine ground skills training in the round pen and at liberty; choreographic interludes in the barn and paddocks; the birth of Pegasa's foal Lyra; initial join up sessions with the dancers and foals.
ROXY IN LABOR
During July and August, the dancers will continue their ground skills training with Carrie to deepen their connection with the foals. The final phase of filming will take place from September to late October.
The Fall 2021 filming will thus capture the progress made in this interspecies experiment. The shoot schedule includes: interludes of unstructured communication; equine training sessions; shaping of choreographic scores with the mares and foals. The project will conclude with live performances for the local equestrian community.
