We are a collective who make short films that reflect the world we live in. “Our projects help to give our lives meaning. “Mad World” also features a piano-laden performance of the Tears for Fears song of the same name which soundtracks the visual dance routine. “To us, it is a mad world that we are living in,” said Heimsoth. The film and dance routine are meant to evoke the disconnect we may feel between necessary COVID-19 protocols – wearing face masks, maintaining physical distance – and the call of nature and, ultimately, connecting with the world around us as well as each other, according to Heimsoth.

The four-minute movie was filmed in late September on a trail in Lynn Headwaters Regional Park, according to Susan Heimsoth, artistic director at OneDance. A group of North Shore dancers have taken to the woods in order to escape the madness of the world.Īround half a dozen adult dance students from OneDance Creative Art Centre in West Vancouver have put together a new short film called “Mad World,” alongside a small production crew.
