Inspired by social guidance films produced by the United States government during the Cold War, a choreographer restages safety drills, corporate and tech start-up office meditation, and Boy Scout exercises in order to ask what futures we are preparing for.

Home Exercises

Sarah Friedland

Using the formal structure of a home workout video, this hybrid documentary and dance film investigates the gestural habits of aging individuals and looks at the physicality of aging as choreography. In its invitation to viewers to move, the film stages choreographies between the mise-en-scène and the home dweller.
