The Weight (14 min 36 sec)
In 2017, Helix sought out choreographers Larkin Poynton and Chris Martin, and musician Jon Seale to create an original dance film. Inspired by the seminal poem Song, by Allen Ginsberg, we sought to tell a story about the struggle to love after loss, and the journey to rediscover our innate innocence.
