NO LONGER/NOT YET is an intimate observational documentary focusing on the very few moments just before a performer steps on stage. In this interval of time and space leading up to a performer’s first step, we are “no longer” rehearsing, and “we are not quite yet” on stage. What happens in this liminal space? This part of a performer’s job is not often seen or spoken of but without a doubt expected. The camera lens makes visible this pre-acceleration removed from the performance itself and aims to expose the invisible labor that goes into taking that first step on stage.
