Happpy Chaos
It's purely chaotic.
​
Like a toddler expressing itself through movement.
Like blasting music when you're alone in your room.
Just existing. No pressure to do anything but dance.

Since balamouk was created to be viewed as a live performance, this video is the first draft of the piece adapted for film. I hope to create a more official film of balamouk in the future.
I thank the dancers immensely for helping me brainstorm ideas for future development and for creating this film.
