Never Lost (결코 잃지 않았다)

Storyline

Directed and choreographed by Li Chiao-Ping, “Never Lost (결코 잃지 않았다)” is an 11-minute dance film shot en route to and on location in South Korea, during dancer and adoptee Elisabeth (O’Keefe) Roskopf’s first trip to her birthplace. Featuring personal unscripted narration, choreography, and poetic landscapes, “Never Lost” witnesses and captures the body in between, in search, and in the moment of facing the challenges of reclaiming self and identity, as well as familial and cultural histories. With cinematography and editing by Christal Wagner, this is Li and Wagner’s third screendance project together and second with Elisabeth Roskopf.
