Bounce
“Bounce” is a short, whimsical film that features dynamic movement and falling objects, creating a highly imaginative and energizing world for the audience to experience. In this experimental
and collaborative project, Teighan and Sarah work independently in their hometowns Alberta and British Columbia, and also together through the digital world. Their movements are inspired by their bodily responses to falling/fallen objects and surfaces that are affected. Other exploration of this project includes experimentation
of real life weight and digital weight, both our bodies, and objects; and navigating momentum in weight changing.

Yuli is very passionate about exploring her identity through music, and expressing her emotions through her art. Some words that people have used to describe Yuli’s personality include confident, outgoing, loud, and fun. Fixing Our Spirits is an original song that was written as an act of defiance against the racism and systemic oppression that Yuli never knew how to handle. She hopes that other women of colour with similar struggles can feel empowered by this song.
