Battle

Battle was commissioned by the San Francisco Dance Film Festival’s Co-Laboratory. In this modern dance-duel, two personalities fight for control of one woman’s fractured mind. Set within the dark reaches of her psyche, the conflict escalates from thumb-wars to bows and arrows as she faces herself in a fight to the finish. But can one side live without the other?

Dark and detailed, with a dose of unexpected humor, Battle seamlessly merges contemporary choreography with mesmerizing settings, shot on location in San Francisco’s historic Armory complex. Written by Shelley Lewis and RAWdance and complemented with a haunting soundtrack by Lou Canon.
