Project Title: FIDGET

Brief Synopsis: Fidget is a powerful screendance short that amplifies the voices of neurodiverse dancers through raw expression, mentorship, and movement. Filmed over seven weeks of creative workshops, the film offers a rare and intimate lens into the challenges and triumphs of dancers often dismissed or misunderstood by society. With honesty and heart, Fidget celebrates the beauty of difference—where zoning out, fidgeting, and freestyling become acts of defiance, connection, and healing. A testament to resilience, this film invites audiences to reimagine what dance—and inclusion—can truly look like.
