DANCES OF SIGNIFICANCE
A Feature-Film by Ned and Wendy the Band
Currently in production in Portland, Oregon
DANCES OF SIGNIFICANCE will be comprised of ten vignettes - each set to a different song from the band's upcoming album of the same name - that offer a glimpse into the lives of different individuals and communities in Portland, expressed through dance, movement, varying film styles, and music. A combination of documentary-style footage, scripted & choreographed scenes, and a little bit of time travel will be used to create a surreal Portland, both familiar and fantastic.
More than anything, this project is a celebration of community - specifically the community of passionate, creative, and one-of-a-kind individuals that make Portland a haven for self-expression.
It will be our largest, most collaborative work to date.
This project is a 2025 grant recipient of RACC's Portland Arts Project awards.
