FLOCK’s “Unstable Connection”
April 28, 2023
“Made for the internet first, ‘Unstable Connection’ stands at the intersection of dance, cinema, and internet video,” says cinematographer Malcolm Wesley about his collaboration with choreographic duo FLOCK. The short film is choreographed and performed by Alice Klock (a 2018 Dance Magazine 25 to Watch) and Florian Lochner, both former artists with Hubbard Street Dance Chicago who formed their own company in 2017. Set to the song “Volatile” by TENDER, “Unstable Connection” follows the pair as they slice through the space separately and come together, intertwining their energetically charged movement, each step appearing instinctual.
