Filming Firebird

A big week in the company of Fine Lines dancers and the Firebird creative team.

Thank you to the dancers for your talent, patience, generosity and willingness to try things out, often without having any idea where it all fits.

Thank you Shannon Parsons for helping me to get to this stage, for being my sounding board and supporting the many disparate elements that go behind the production of a film project.

Thank you Jamie Henson for hours of behind the scenes preparation, and the gift of your lighting mastery and sense of the dramatic.

Thank you Takeshi Kondo, manofthetrees, for your skill, professionalism and willingness to work with me and Fine Lines when you are in such high demand.

Thank you Robert Wagner for images that make people wonder ‘what’s this all about?” and for conquering a dislike of heights.

Thank you to our donors who have been so kind and generous, at a time where many an income is challenged. Your gift to Firebird has allowed us to film the work. Now we edit. But before that, let me share some images from the film shoot on 7 & 8 July 2021, Burrinja Cultural Centre.
