Spotlight On: "Unbound" Ballet Documentary

Hosted by: Dr. Tara Christensen PT, MS, DPT

Guests: John English, co-director of “Unbound”

In this episode:

I sat down with John English from OTOXO Productions to chat about “Unbound”, a ground breaking documentary about a group of professional ballet dancers at Ballet de Barcelona.

What I found in my conversation with this very passionate co-director is that this isn’t just another ballet documentary.  This film addresses some of the deepest traumas in professional dance and gives a voice to a group of dancers who have come through them, found healing in their own time and created a place where the stereotypes and stigmas are shattered and everyone is accepted.

It comes across very clearly that John has so much passion for this work and there are some incredibly inspiring stories and themes packed into this 90 minute film.  As he tells the stories of how this film came together it’s clear that one of the goals is to give a voice not just to the dancers featured, but dancers around the world who may have experienced similar things.  

The hope is for change in the community, and “Unbound” has incredible potential.  

“Unbound” releases for worldwide streaming on Tuesday, December 2 on Amazon and Apple TV.
