Februrary is a 60 second dance video by New York interdisciplinary artist Charles Dennis that takes a unique approach to filming dance by using the body as a camera, in this case by placing a small camera on the head of the dancer/filmmaker. The place is a snowy meadow. In a continuous take the camera follows Charles Dennis' bare hands as they drop from the sky into the snow, rise and spin across the landscape before finally falling down into the snow again. Using just the movement of hands the film poetically suggests unity with place,
the temptation of violence and a path to compassion.
