ORGANIZED HOPE

Directed by

Amy Seiwert

United States

Inspired by Kintsugi, the traditional Japanese craft of repairing broken ceramics using lacquer mixed with gold and the belief that something can be more beautiful through the stresses endured. Seiwert asked herself: coming out of an era that broke many of us, can we be re-formed? Can we create something both stronger and more beautiful?
Organized Hope features dancer James Gilmer with choreography by Amy Seiwert, a libretto by Marc Bamuthi Joseph, and an original score by Daniel Bernard Roumain. Created in collaboration with filmmaker Ben Estabrook and Stop-Motion Artist Aaron Kierbel.
