Beth Portnoy

has been unleashing her mighty moves all over New York City as a choreographer, dancer, teacher, and filmmaker. Beth’s dance for camera work has been screened at both International and US film festivals.

Director Statement:

I strive to create a seamless blend of dance, music, and theatricality; an organic sense of performance as an all-encompassing entity. Using stop motion technology and pixilation fused with live motion footage, I am able to create choreography that is not always physically possible; to manipulate props/scenery/costumes to uncover motion where it couldn't naturally exist. The atmosphere reacts to the human movement and shows a glimpse of magic in our ordinary objects and lives.
