the beloved

A series of short portrait dance films

the beloved is a series of short portrait dance films developed by Marissa Brown and commissioned by the Sharon Disney Lund School of Dance at California Institute of the Arts. Each episode highlights a CalArts dance student or alum and dives into questions around their current state and how they are navigating the state of the world around them as a young artist in 2020. These stories connect us back to our community during a time of social separation and remind us to believe in possibilities even when everything crashes against our best human and communal development.
