ABOUT

The short dance film EXPLORE investigates the possibilities of a square frame. A young woman, shielded from the unknown,

is living in her own little world.

Her existence is framed by the people around her.

When she meets a young man who takes her out of her familiar surroundings, she gets inspired.

Will she lose herself in her newfound freedom? 

​

EXPLORE is the director's debut of Moniek van der Kallen and first film in the EX-trilogy. EXPOSE is the second film.

​

​

The choreography of EXPLORE is set to the music of New Day of Norwegian film composer and artist Kate Havnevik.

The song uses a wide  variety  of musical instruments, starting with classical violins, to ongoing dancebeats ending in a disarray of electronical noises.

Combined with Havnevik's glitching frail voice,

it makes the song a varied and challenging number,

gearing up to a climax. 

In the song, Havnevik sings about a new phase in her life.

The development in music is in line with

the development of the young female dancer. 

​

New Day is a track from Kate Havnevik's 2006 debut album Melankton. For her latest album &I, see her website.
