Moving from in front of a crowd to in front of a camera, BodyVox has collaborated with filmmaker Mitchell Rose to produce some of the most amazing and amusing dance scenes ever seen on film. They feature a pastiche of different elements -- movement, environment, weather, humor, heavy machinery - with astonishing results that are oddly charming and laughably absurd. In 2002, the company's film suite "Modern Daydreams" won a prestigious American Choreography Award for Outstanding Achievement in Short Film.
