Kista Tucker Dance, Inc.

We're here to raise funds for our next movie, "Rooms in the House."

Using rooms in a house as metaphors for facets of the human self—and hands as characters—the story begins with Oma, an elderly woman swiveling on a squeaky porch swing. She then travels through her home, from the kitchen with hungry turkey chicks in a box, to the cold and dark basement, a nursery prepared for her grandchildren, the living room with flickering lights, an attic, and more. She hears scratching and growl-like barking sounds. Where are the children? She searches through the rooms, her memories, and her personal inner constructs to better understand herself and the world—then exhales.

We begin rehearsal next week. There's not much to show until we are actually in rehearsal. But check out the prototype we're using to create "Rooms in the House." It's our first movie, "Tales from Dapple Creek." You can view it by using the following link and password. Tales from Dapple Creek (27 min.) https://vimeo.com/841710165

When David Lynch died, I felt a bit disconnected. Quite some time ago I felt a connection with his work (not all of it), so I did a comparative analysis of his work and mine. There are similarities. The use of light, and of time, taking a common thread and finding its brilliance, and more.

Let's see where this new movie, "Rooms in the House," where it blossoms and leads to new and deeper understandings.

I'll keep this story updated (especially those photos). So, stay tuned...

Dear Friends,

The above trailer for TALES FROM DAPPLE CREEK won 43 awards through FilmFreeway. And now, we are about to embark on a new movie. It will be called ROOMS IN THE HOUSE.

This is a huge deal. Our story is packed with vibrant, enriching, and helpful realities. First, a tiny bit of backstory. We've created scads of works, this first brief clip is from an older work,

Two Tears in the Dirt: he cried in his own child grave.
