After screening around Australia Pointe Dancing on a Knife's Edge is coming to The Backlot Perth on 11am Dec 27, 11am Jan 8 and 4pm Jan 10.
POINTE is a captivating and moving documentary about Australian dancer
Floeur Alder, daughter of ballet luminaries Lucette Aldous AC and Alan Alder. At 22, about to embark on her European dance career, Flour was victim to a stabbing outside of her home at the hands of a stranger. While the physical wounds eventually healed, the trauma stirs turbulent memories from her past, sparking a deeply personal quest to find her place in the dance world.
Poetic, raw, and unflinching, POINTE DANCING ON A KNIFE'S EDGE is a portrait of an unbelievably courageous artist, her remarkable family, and how the power of creativity can heal even the deepest wounds. Tix from Eventbrite.
