'occupation' is a screendance that explores a state of 'uprootedness' in the context of the events of the Iraq War and the World Financial Crisis. The film features three movers: two dancers and one building. In 2009, this five-million-pound building underwent an engineering feat when it was raised eleven feet off its foundation, rotated by 180 degree and pushed from its original location to the opposite side of the block. Interleaved footage of the dancers and the building in motion illustrates their correlation - a mounting tension that speaks to the democracy in the US being shaken, uprooted and redefined underneath people's feet.
