Lightning Dance

Directed by Cecilia Bengolea

Filmed in October 2017 during the floods in Spanish Town, Jamaica, Lightning Dance investigates the influence of the indeterminate electric weather on bodily imagination. The black-and-white video features several young Jamaicans who, in company of the artist, perform solo and group dance routines next to a roadside shack, while heavy rain falls and a billowing and turbulent thunderstorm roars, soaking their clothes.
