Rauma in Motion

Rauma in Motion (2012) is a thirty-two minute 'Dance-U-Mentary' film that exposes the locomotion, mobility, and flow of a small town as the days grew longer, the grass grew greener, and bicycles zoomed by at all hours of the day. A project of Orange Grove Dance, Rauma in Motion was created during a two-month residency in Rauma, Finland as a response to the communal depth and richness that Co-Directors Colette Krogol and Matthew Reeves encountered there. Hundreds of local residents joined OGD in movement workshops and performances to create this film, which provides an embodied understanding of their community and culture. Rauma in Motion, with an original score by Dylan Glatthorn, provides a fresh perspective and intimate look into the town's fascinating culture, terrain, history, people, and way of life through natural and choreographed movement.
