(Film Screening) your love: beside me (2025) is a triptych of narrative dance films that captures the life cycle of love. These works are a film adaptation of three live performance duets created by Ali Kenner Brodsky and performed by Jessi Stegall & Ilya Vidrin with music composed by MorganEve Swain. These three duets premiered in 2023 as a part of evening-length work called moments and are referred to internally as the walking, bench, and floor duets. The film production team is composed of Ali Kenner Brodsky (co-director and choreographer), Rich Ferri (director of photography and editor), MorganEve Swain (composer), and Jessi Stegall and Ilya Vidrin (performers). 

These duets are tender and evocative. They are reflective and evoke memories of times passed. Stegall and Vidrin are present together in space but see each other as echoes of a past life. Each section of the triptych honors a different point in a relationship- from the giddiness of a first glance, to settling into a common rhythm, to the final good-bye. My work divulges movement stories that ask how we move through grief and relate to each other inside of and as we emerge from our dark cocoons.
