Julian, 2023

Study for the Portrait Project

Our pilot study for The Portrait Project catches New York-based Filipino-American dancer Julian De Leon at the moment of transition from being a working professional dancer to becoming something else; in Julian’s case, a barber.

"Julian" is part of The Portrait Project, an ongoing series of short films profiling contemporary dancers. The series looks closely at dancers in dual modes; language and movement. Our first three portraits engage dancers at different stages of life and career, emerging, mid-career, master-level, making them lively companion pieces.
