Kitschy and confrontational, this dance short is a darkly playful take on the dynamics of seeing and being seen.

Instinct
dance3 min2025U, G
Three fighters, one vital resource, no room for compromise. "Instinct" is a tense, physically charged short dance film built around a single life-or-death struggle. As the dancers clash over water, their movement becomes a test of endurance, urgency, and survival. Their movements are sharp, stripped-back, and unflinching. Bodies strain, collide, and resist, mirroring the brutal realities of scarcity and entitlement. Every action carries consequences, and every choice exposes what desperation can bring in each of us. With a stark visual language and urgent momentum, this is a gripping meditation on survival, power, and the cost of getting what we need.
