This is my second documentary, which records the feelings and thoughts of an 18-year-old girl who can no longer dance ballet.
Artist's Statement
Ever since watching First Position, a documentary about ballet, I became interested in this art form. Even though I knew nothing about ballet, I interview a dancer who had just given up her craft, with my perspective as a 16-year-old youth. I tried to explore this unfamiliar subject through images.
