A short film about love, obsession and delusion, with a strong contemporary dance element.

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.
