Life in Movement

The sudden death in 2007 of dancer and choreographer Tanja Liedtke brings life into sharp focus. A film about moving creatively through life and loss, Life in Movement is a portrait of an obsessive artist at work and the impact her life and death has on her collaborators. In 2007, Tanja Liedtke was appointed to succeed Graeme Murphy as Artistic Director of the Sydney Dance Company. Before she could take up the position, the dedicated 29-year-old dancer/choreographer was tragically killed in a road accident. Eighteen months later, Tanja's still-grieving collaborators (including her partner Sol Ulbrich) embark on an international tour of her award-winning productions. The performances and on-tour interviews, along with intimate footage of Tanja's creative process and previously unseen recordings, provide a moving celebration of her creative life. (Antidote Films)
