Wonder About Merri
Wonder About Merri is a six minute short that looks at a surprising moment in Merri's life. Diagnosed with Dystonia in 2012, she pursued a number of medical treatments and a lot of alternative routes recommended by friends. Some of these methods were crazy, some not, but all ineffective. A long-time dance student of Tamar's, she had stopped going to classes in fear that she couldn't do anything. When she returned, she and Tamar found some shocking evidence of movement they didn't think was possible. Wonder About Merri is a hybrid, it’s not a documentary, nor a narrative, nor a dance film. In Merri's words, it is "a cross between a music video and Lourdes."
