Dancers: slightly out of shape (2021)

Through Sargent's observational lens, we witness conversations with dancers and Pam Tanowitz about how their relationship with their bodies during a year of quarantine and restricted movement has deteriorated. Sargent captures rehearsals, viewers see dancers at a distance from each other, in the large, enclosed space of LMCCs studio on Governor's Island. The viewer is transported to a warm, collaborative atmosphere: Tanowitz's communication with dancers is full of humor and a relaxed, creative focus. Sargent also offers intimate access to moments in between rehearsal: snippets of conversation, dancers in moments of reflection between themselves and their bodies, and flurries of movement and laughter.
