ZEPHYR, a dance film choreographed by Nadine Helstroffer, features a trio of sleepy, wind-ruffled blossoms in the green soul of New York City. At times giddy, at times poignant, this surreal take on spring celebrates the fluidity of being - the elusiveness of it all within the gift of each moment.Dance and environment rise together in a vision of luminous transience where the flow of the dancers, the play of the light and the touch of the wind permeate each other. Their shimmering quality yields a unique moment in the natural life of a great city - a fleeting passage reflecting our very own evanescence.The music, tranquil yet lyrical, comes from the album, The Golden Morning Breaks, by French composer Colleen (aka Cecile Schott). This piece, played only with acoustic instruments, combines playful chimes, droning guitar and keyboards into a delicate soundscape of waves and textures. The melody glistens with the light of spring time.ZEPHYR is part of a series of four shorts filmed by John Bush and choreographed by Nadine Helstroffer, each corresponding to a season, shot outdoors in NYC and environs and portraying dance as urban pilgrimage.
