Walking is a great short film that I have introduced to my dance students at macquarie University in Sydney. I am currently choreographing a work on walking; so complex, so simple, so shared, so individual. would love to see more of your work. especially relevent for Dance Screen & Media unit. Thanks. pauline

I think it's wonderful too. I only happened to stumble across Ryan Larkin's work a couple weeks ago.
