Lydia and Matthew

‘In it [20-minute film], two performers are shown in split-screen, performing a dance in separate locations. Lydia Feuerhelm is a trained dancer, Matthew Lemus is a janitor at a residential building in downtown Chicago. At points the dancers converge, making the same movements, hopping to the right or bouncing backwards, but at others their movements are in conversation with each other.’ — Kerry Cardoza for NewCity
