Bathland

Bathland is an homage to the experimental films of Maya Deren, using the dancer’s body to draw a progression from wild ocean waves to civilized bathroom plumbing.  An unnamed figure undertakes a journey through a series of dreamlike landscapes and mysterious tests centered around a pair of fetishized high-heeled shoes.  This simultaneously interior and externalized adventure transforms her from something barely human into that superhuman creature known as “woman.”

A dance/film collaboration, directed by Eli Rarey, performed and choreographed by Katherine Helen Fisher with an original score by Mick Rossi. Bathland was filmed in 2013 in Newport Beach, California.
