A dance/film set in Melbourne, Australia, filmed in October 2013 and completed in May 2014. Cast grew out of, and was central to, my postgraduate research into Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and embodied embryology. It explores three aspects of being a human being in an everyday environment – how we circulate through and with our outer world as an ongoing creative path of generation and perception, our inner world and connection to the deepest ground of being, and the sheer pleasure of being a strong, capable, dancing, tactile, mobile body. Inspired by Dharma Arts practice, Miksang photography, and the pedestrian art movement going back to Marcel Duchamp, cast celebrates everyday beauty, ‘auspicious coincidence,’ and our potential for meaningful connection.
