a high-voltage ride through trauma and transformation
" defies category "
- The Wall Street Journal
Based on an early age incident, Secondary Dominance, a dance- and music-centric 82-min autofictional film, kaleidoscopically explores trauma through the dual prisms of art and science.
A neuroscientist invites an artist to speak at a medical conference on PTSD, trauma, and the brain.
During her talk, she reads a letter she wrote to her childhood sexual abuser, igniting a dance-and-music-centric journey into her psychological landscape, illustrating the nonlinearity of memory and transformation.
“I might be on fire. The flame for that fire came from Secondary Dominance...
Together it seems we are producing images
that might tattoo the soul.”
— Godfrey Reggio
