Creator’s Message Major Motion Picture has been over two years in the making and is the culmination of the hard work, talents and generosity of so many people. The dance ensemble and the design team have contributed immensely to this work with overwhelming passion, skill and commitment. Our presenting, producing and supporting partners have been integral champions from the inception of this project. Our incredible mentor Crystal, and steadfast apprentice Elya, have been essential in our process. It all comes to light and together by way of our management team at New Works led by Linnea and Ben, and our phenomenal production team. Out Innerspace is privileged to be dancing on the unceded territories of the Esquimalt, Musqueam, WSANEC, Songhees, Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh nations. Our family, friends and fans are our foundation of love and encouragement and have been central in helping us fundraise to support the final phase of this work. What wind in our sails, what extreme privilege and honour it is, what enormous
gratitude we have to each and every person who has been a part of this with us. We can’t thank you enough. The research and creative process for this work has been centred around and influenced by many including Slavoj Žižek, Norman McLaren, Charlie Chaplin, Noam Chomsky, Die Antwoord, Banksy, David Lynch, Alfred Hitchcock, Akira Kurosawa, Sergio Leone, Stanley Kubrick, Elias Canetti, Jacques Ellul, Sigmund Freud and Gustav Labon.
