The beauty of dance, for me, comes in the way in which it transcends barriers of language to communicate in a universal manner. It has the ability to embrace the emotional, the primal, and champion the importance of community and our shared experience. This core tenet is central to Heather Lang and Purdie Baumann’s experimental short Simulation which captures the pure sacredness of dance against the regal backdrop of New York’s One Hanson Place. The piece also operates, in its latter portion, as a homage to the musical stylings of Róisín Murphy and nightlife when it transitions into a colourful, light-driven spectacle. Dn is delighted to premiere Simulation alongside a conversation with Lang where she discusses the film’s surprising evolution, the diversity she wanted to foster with her dance troupe, and the importance of location and costume in establishing the short’s communal sensibility.
