FINDING HELEN

‘Finding Helen’

eResidency; Video development and production 2020-2021

The goal of the residency was to guide participants through the mythology and narrative of Helen of Troy, a well-known figure in Greek history. While the historic context was the starting point, my story developed into an Oracle, the heroine who goes on an adventure with her troupe while seeking the knowledge of healing for the people she serves.  References to religion, spirituality and pagan practices are the iconoclastic background for a short story to unfold.

The work allowed me to explore technical possibilities while keeping things simple.
