Logline: legs is elegy

Synopsis: Three artists work in stride to translate, in sound and motion, the heart of a poem. They collaborate with life's unexpected—snapped clotheslines, drained swimming pools, terminal diagnoses—and learn what falls away is not necessarily gone.

Director's Statement: Jennifer Still (poet): “Creating with these two remarkable artists expands my sense of voice into its fullest being—swimming the poem, singing the poem, wearing the poem, flying it. It's as if we are writing with our bodies and the page is whatever scene we are moving through--an empty pool, a race track, a hospital sheet. Our process together shows me how and where and why a poem can live and be lived: inside and outside all at once, hovering just above and below the furling, unfurling, crumpling page."
