The Art of Motion

Original title of the film: Kulgemise kunst

2002 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Ove Musting

Dancer and choreographer Teet Kask's story of creating and the art of going with the flow.

The documentary observes one of Teet Kask´s dance perfomances - the story of its creation and internal development. The art of creating, usually individual and secret, suddenly becomes comprehensible. This, primarily thanks to the creator, Teet Kask, and his open and humorous dialoque with himself. As the film runs its course, an organic reasoning is found behind the incorporation of the creative work of the Young Choreographer and Old Boy (one translation of the Lao-zi name) into an audiovisual sketch-portrait.
