\nThe dance, musical short film, shot in the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y. is a collaboration between award-winning choreographer Lane Napper, who is known for his choreography work on the\u00a0Nickelodeon shows \u201ciCarly\u201d and \u201cVictorious,\u201d the socially charged music of Jour Majesty<\/a> and visionary filmmaker Michael C. Perry, known from his award-winning short musical films, \u201cThe Carnival Kid,\u201d and \u201cEmpty Box of Wine.\u201d<\/p>\n
The film follows thirteen dancers, each defining their unique style of dance to illuminate their concerns about the future. The performance is to the words and music of Jour Majesty\u2019s single, \u201cYouthful Faces<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe lyrics completely spotlight the anxieties of our youth,\u201d says Choreographer Lane Napper. \u201cGlowing shiny faces swiping for affirmation, Page by page in a sea of distraction and the people took no action, and the earth became fractured.\u201d<\/p>\n Each performer came up with their own interpretation of the song and lyrics to capture their feeling about our current societal condition.<\/p>\n \u201cI am extremely grateful to participate in \u2018Youthful Faces\u2019 to help inspire today\u2019s youth to have hope for the future and to courageously take action to drive positive change,\u201d says sixteen-year-old Kathryn Zimmer (Broadway: \u201cMatilda\u201d). \u201cNow is the time to speak up and speak out to illuminate the future we want to see.
