Set in an abandoned ocean liner pier on the Hudson River, New York City circa 1984 dancers interact with graffiti, abandoned objects and the crumbling architecture.

A woman wakes up and starts her day among a colorful world which blends live action, pixilation, stop motion, cut-outs and animated paint.

Performed by the dancers of Eccentric Motions and students of Pooh Kaye on the streets of Soho, New York.

Paint is employed here with visceral as well as visual delight and it is given several metaphoric meanings to boot. The intertwining of art and its illusions with so-called reality explored with exuberance.
