Everett’s Home Movies
About The Piece
The deeply resonant Home Movies explores memory and the modern American family, intertwining deft humor, compelling images, and eloquent movement. The work’s deliberately lo-fi aesthetic is a perfect complement to the beguiling humanism that guides not only the piece itself, but the company’s ethos. This multigenerational, multicultural, and multimedia piece features five dancers, four families, and a tightly woven web of stories about loss, triumph, and the poignant moments in life that define us all.

“An astonishingly seamless blend of words, video, set elements, and dance. . . more tears, laughter, and poignant memory than high-tech effects.”

“Home Movies is an interwoven narrative of abstract memories from the performers’ lives. How do you make the past present? Through the body. Memories made tangible by home-video images and the performers’ bodies responding to them through the joy of physical movement.”
