The Space I take Up is an experimental dance film directed by Kyna Marie and performed by Susanne McHugh. The short film focuses on themes of mental illness, as Susanne plays out her struggle with OCD, agoraphobia, and depression. In her fight to find motivation and purpose, she eventually surrenders to the discomfort that resides within.
The Space I take Up was screened at Rogue Dancer Film Festival as well as The Experimental, Dance & Film Festival, and won Best Dance.
“Heavy, Weightless” is the visualization of a stream of consciousness journal entry, in which the struggle to find oneself intersects with the longing for connection and understanding.
Written & created by Kyna Marie, featuring Abbie Richards.
