 BREATH MADE VISIBLE is the first feature length film about the life and career of Anna Halprin, the American dance pioneer who has helped redefine our notion of modern art with her belief in dance's power to teach, heal, and transform at all ages of life.
This cinematic portrait blends recent interviews with counterparts such as the late Merce Cunningham, archival footage, including her establishment of the first multiracial dance company in the U.S, and excerpts of current performances such as "Parades and Changes" at the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris, to weave a stunning, inspiring account of one of the most important cultural icons in modern dance.
"Ms. Halprin becomes quite as rich a subject for film as Ms. Monk: another odd face, another wonderfully calm (though ardently enthusiastic) and open talker, another (and senior) artist who responds to both politics and scenery."
-NY TIMES
"Engaging. Illustrative. The quintessential Left Coast choregrapher Anna Haprin has helped push the boundaries of modern dance."

Sometimes, a documentary movie can have an actual physical effect on you. It gets under your defenses and creates a visceral feeling that might as well be real. I very much engaged at the history and the humor is fantastic, making many of us, the audience, laugh out loud. We got a complete sense of common enjoyment and the aspect of living a life with a community purpose was one of the messages, making this movie a must see, specially at the current times. Inspiring, engaging and fun!
