The Torrent - A Dance Film

Created in the first year of the COVID 19 Pandemic, The Torrent explores the concept of a dancer's relationship with oneself while dancing among others. Directed, edited, and choreographed by Kathleen Hickey, this film features six dancers grasping for balance, breath, and stability, while dynamic spirals, force, and nature shape their movement through various locations.

The Torrent premiered at Purdue University in December 2020. It was chosen for the FilmFest by Rogue Dancer: LockDown 365 Edition in 2021 and for the Dance Camera Pandemania / Dance Camera Istanbul Film Festival in 2022.
