the Is have it is a screendance exploring what happens when we listen and respond to our innermost voice. Filmed in the dense forest of Northern Minnesota, the setting creates a space equal to the depths of one's mind, challenging the dancer, camera and viewer to allow themselves to get lost, listen deeply, and perhaps find something new.
