About the work:
Winner of a prestigious dancescreen 2019 award in the category of SCREEN CHOREOGRAPHY OVER 15 MINUTES... Filmed on location in a derelict suburban shopping mall and featuring an ensemble of disabled and non-disabled dancers, the film explores human interdependence, strength, and vulnerability. The dance film is a re-imagining of the stage work of the same name and dancers Amy Butler, Laura Jones, Chris Pavia, David Willdridge and Dave Toole, who devised the original piece, all appear in the film.
In selecting the film as the winner, the jury of dancescreen said ‘This film’s cinematic vision speaks to the depth of human experience through the metaphor of a supermarket. The jury responded to the strength of the ensemble and a non-hierarchical vision of corporeal expression.’

Incredible. The choreography, the styling, the direction, the location is all perfect. The dancers conveyed such a story, such emotion. Truly amazing from start to finish. Also so fantastic that this was an incisive dance film, showcasing disabled dancers. Very important.
Alucinantes. Profundo. Esperanzador.
The best entertainment this week. Wow. Loved it.
Loved it ! Great dancers.
I loved your video. Thank you for posting it. There is a move towards the end that three of you do that reminded me of the Talking Heads video Once In A Life Time. Great work. The mix of Fun and moving passages really kept it interesting. I'd love to see more of your work.
This is transformational...it has made an impact on my life by seeing it... thank you to all the creative humans that worked on this. Epic and beautiful

@@StopgapDanceCo Your Welcome! I shared on my personal facebook page and here is the caption: WOW. We can learn so much about life if we are brave, unlearn everything we have been taught, and open up to everything that is out there... watching this brought me into an experience that I have never been exposed to personally and that transforms and evolves my ideas of creativity and human-ness. Creating...creative humans...i love...
The ending is just a mine definition of the how the humans should interact with different kind of humans. Somehow we are all one in dance

The airing of this wonderful video on bbc the other night brought me here. I was mesmerised from start to finish by this amazing dancing and music interpretation. I love dance and now I have subscribed to two very different sites. The other is Sergei Polunin who I am sure, would like this.

@@StopgapDanceCo I have subscribed already and I’m in the middle of watching yet another of your works. You have all honestly and truthfully blown me away. I’m so sorry that I didn’t know about Stopgap until after David died. What a super hero!!! I did see him dance at the Paralympics without knowing anything about you all. 💕💕
