The World Retreats is an exploration of the creative process and the feeling of being totally in sync with artmaking. During this process, we asked ourselves: “Where does your mind go while you are creating? Free of distractions.” This question was answered differently by each of us and the collaboration combining each of our perspectives is what makes this film so magical.
Cassie: “When I create, my mind goes to this place resembling hallways. I feel like I go to this different world, very much a meditative space. The room seems to expand and the pictures on the wall all have stories. I can see a video playing and hear music in the background as my body becomes one with the air, with my art. It's this feeling of losing myself at the same time I am finding myself.”
Auriana: “When I am creating movement through improvisation, I tend to find inspiration from music and emotion. I imagine my body as a puppet-like being and let these concepts control and guide me. In a way, the musical notes and the feelings are tugging at different parts of my body causing movement to happen. It is such a personal experience, and it is what defines my movement aesthetic.”
