Creating Kyle Abraham’s When We Fell

”In February 2021, eleven months after New York’s COVID shutdown, eight New York City Ballet dancers joined choreographer Kyle Abraham for a three-week residency bubble to create the choreography for When We Fell. This behind-the-scenes documentary, with insight from the dancers and creative team, gives an up-close and personal look at the collaborative process that brought the film to life.”

DOCUMENTARY

LEAVE-TAKING (2016, Director/Editor)

On her film LEAVE-TAKING:

I hope that this film can provide a more nuanced representation of Post-Traumatic Stress, one that avoids sensationalistic tropes of the manic, tortured war veteran. Depictions of those who struggle with their mental health can often be painted with a broad brush, and this serves to further alienate and stigmatize those who, in reality, have deeply individual and complex experiences. The costs of war are examined beautifully in a number of documentaries and films, but I hadn't seen anything that reflected my father's experience, or mine in growing up with a combat veteran as a father. Trauma ripples outward from those who experience it. The more we understand, the more we can provide comfort to those who need it most.
