Close to Distance is a dance film that centers on life in quarantine where we can only meet each other in a dream, a story, memories, a zoom call. A time where we are present while absent, limited to ourselves, alone even when collaborating with others. Close to Distance focuses on the intimate space that exists between two separated people: how can I feel your presence when apart, and what sensations of proximity linger in isolation? Through this work, we ask “What is the distance?”, distance from ourselves, from others, and from our former lives. We ask how our sense of distance and proximity has changed in this period of COVID-19 and how presence and absence become blurred.
