The incomparable Emilie Conrad, captured by filmmaker Hanna Heiting

ElaineNewsletters

A note from Elaine Colandrea

I am excited to tell you that filmmaker Hanna Heiting has made available to Watermark Arts three films that emerged from her friendship with Emilie Conrad, as well as from Hanna’s own experience of Continuum.

This remarkable triad begins with Em Moves, an intimate portrait of Emilie as ground-breaking teacher, mentor and mover. The Many Faces is a treasure of interviews with people whose lives Emilie touched. Alphabet follows the “Words and Waves” workshop process combining Continuum and creative writing.

Hanna was one of the few persons whom Emilie trusted to chronicle her life, and from these films it is easy to see why. As Rebecca Marks, co-creator of “Words and Waves”, puts it, “Hanna’s artistic decisions are those of an insider who lives the movement she is filming. Her visual compositions, her informed stillness, her directorial attention, all mirror and follow Emilie Conrad’s life-long exploration of movement in an unfolding call and response.”

Below, read more from Hanna herself, with links to each film.

I am also pleased to let you know that Omega has opened registration for the

June 30 – July 5, 2019 Somatic Movement Summit:
The Creativity of Health, Mirroring Nature
 

With pleasure,

Elaine
