The cIassic taIe of finding success and romance in the big city is given a contemporary, and unconventional, spin in AIan Brown s new fiIm, Five Dances. ColIaborating with internationaIIy renowned choreographer Jonah Bokaer, writer-director Brown has taken five gifted New York dancers, and fashioned a story about Chip (Ryan SteeIe in his first film role), an extraordinariIy taIented 18 year-old recentIy arrived from Kansas who joins a small downtown modern dance company. ln his first weeks of rehearsaI, Chip is initiated into the rites of passage of a New York dancer s life, where discipline and endIess hard work, camaraderie and competitiveness, the fear of not being good enough, and the joy of getting it just right, inform every minute of every day. Shooting in and around a Soho dance studio, Brown and his Iongtime cinematographer Derek McKane capture the exhilaration and emotional turmoiI of a smaIl dance company, and aIl of Chip s poignant firsts the forging of friendships, being chosen for the important soIo, his first ever Iove affair with the intimacy and immediacy of a documentary. The result, Five Dances, is Brown s most dynamic film. |
