BBC Arts Dance Passion ‘Neon Romance’ Short Film
Neon Romance.
After dark. Breaking the rules. Fuelled by Plymouth’s passion for drift cars, footwork, flips, MC’s, show cars and dancing the night away.
Turning the key on a combustion engine of engineering, imagination, hybrid cars and rebellious dancers.
Caught in the headlights 6 individuals come together for a night on top of colourful show cars - sharing Afrobeat, Breaking, Chicago Footwork, Contemporary and Parkour. Putting neon lights, shimmering car-shells, whirring engines and spinning bodies in the driver's seat.
Across Plymouth’s modified car, street sports and dance scene: when the music starts, the night begins and the cars rock up - everyone’s equal.
With a score by dynamic drum and bass MC Maddy V and directed by multi-award winning choreographer Laura Kriefman this is a celebration of the world-class talent in Plymouth.
