I Can Feel Ya

Abstract

I Feel Ya is a three-minute, dance film/music video that investigates the juxtaposition of music and image to explore familiar (largely stereotypical) depictions of older women with fraying mental health on screen. The challenge is to subvert the hero’s journey being gender skewed to a male saviour. In this scene the women who appears to be isolated, alone and vulnerable, possibly suffering from agoraphobia becomes the hero when she lures out a more reclusive male figure from a room in the house. She becomes the saviour.
