Happy one year anniversary to Still Here ❤️

One year later, this show still means so much to us. We poured our hearts, our stories, and our culture into creating it, and we’re incredibly proud of what it became. Shout out to our whole team for coming together on this one. Sold out 6 shows in a row in New York.

To celebrate, we wanted to share the final scene from the animated film we wrote and directed for the show with the legendary @steph_gumpel @novella_film . A piece about where we come from, what we carry with us, and what we hope to pass on to the next generation.

How do you deliver 20 minutes of animation for a New York stage premiere on an indie budget?

Filmmaker Stephanie Gumpel’s Studio Novella teamed with Indigenous Enterprise on 'Still Here,' opening tomorrow at The Joyce Theater. The show blends powwow dance with rotoscoped and 2.5D animation created in Blender by a small team of artists.

Check out our feature on the animation component of the performance, along with some breathtaking BTS artwork. Link in bio.

Every frame begins with real footage, carefully traced through rotoscoping, so the dance and its meaning are carried into animation.
This all comes together in 𝙎𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚, which premieres at the Joyce Theater in NYC on September 16. Tickets available now.

Dancer: @hashkeisaac
Animator: mayopaste
