Reeling from a bad breakup, Rose leaves LA and moves into her ancestral home, a massive estate filled with ornate antiques, rooms upon rooms and things that go bump in the night. Suddenly Rose begins hearing voices and seeing strange visions and soon she realizes that she's not alone: the ghost of a long dead man walks the corridors, longing for Rose and ushering her into a world of forbidden love and spectral sensuality.

Lifelines asks audiences: How can we move closer to what brings us life? A screendance film featuring seven dance artists from three continents, this adventurous and viscerally investigative work grew from the first Covid lockdown to return body to earth, and one another across borders and boundaries. This debut work is directed and edited by brooke smiley (Osage), a Native Launchpad Artist 2020-2023 from Western Arts Alliance and features an original score by Timothy Wood. Lifelines is a passage of time, a meditation as performance inviting global participation in what inspires rest, pleasure, and freedom within our body and how we choose to experience and honor our world.
