The Frightful Spider

Synopsis 

Based simply on the nursery rhyme of Miss Muffet, I wanted the film to be as close to dance as film could be. The goal was not to depict dance, but be dance itself. A Violinist is continually scolded and belittled by his Dancer and is teased and tricked by the rooftop Prankster, with spider and string in hand. Playfulness and mischief are on hand.
