Still Moving is a poetic short film exploring ageing and identity through contemporary dance. Through the eyes of Dawn, a 60-year-old contemporary dancer, the film explores how dance carries the echoes of who we were, and the grace of who we are becoming.
​
Still Moving seeks to reframe how we see ageing, particularly in women, through the lens of dance. Inspired by phenomenological approaches to embodiment, the film presents the ageing body not as decline, but as evolution.
​
Using a blend of black-and-white archival and contemporary footage, Dawn’s past and present selves co-exist. Rather than explain, the film invites viewers to feel with her, through movement, texture, sound, and memory.
​
By embracing poetic and sensory storytelling, Still Moving challenges chrononormative ideas that equate value with youth. It is a quiet act of resistance and recognition, an ode to bodies that continue to move with time.
