The Corner

Have you ever felt stuck or suspended in time and space?

During lockdown there has been another threat on our health and wellbeing, other than Covid 19. This is our mental health. Humans are social communal creatures by nature. Our obsession with social media shows that we yearn for collective solidarity, acceptance and knowing we are part of something bigger than ourselves, without this we feel: cornered, alone, frustrated, uneasy, angry, anxious, low self-esteem, and the list goes on.

This short film uses dance, spoken word and original music to explore this experience in all its vulnerability and urgency. All content created and performed by Akeim Toussaint Buck.
