Ms. Geis wisely plants her camera in the rehearsal room, and mostly leaves it there.

A dance is not only motion, but emotion. This fascinating film reminds us how closely the two are linked.

...Geis never explores Taylor's illustrious career, thereby stripping any possible contextualization of "Three Dubious Memories" within his larger oeuvre.

Rated: 6/10

Kate Geis reveals the creative process of a master at work. A very private master choreographer. Just being a fly on the wall is a privilege to see this group of artists create a dance out of thin air.
