Plenty of ink (and digits) have been spilled describing how Covid has limited our options. On the other side of the ledger, many people have reminded us that we can still live fully if we put our minds to it. The media have reported huge increases in gardening, bicycling, online acting (via Zoom), and home cooking. For graphic evidence of outside-the-box creativity, take a look at “Staircase Polka,” a dance film choreographed and performed by Holly Stone. We don’t know if Ms. Stone’s regular dance studio was closed down, but she clearly seems to be having a good time on the repurposed staircase.
“Staircase Polka” was shot by Seven Witjmans on a Google Pixel 3. The video was an entry in the Cinephone International Smartphone Film Festival “Stay At Home” competition. The song is the “Rosita Polka” composed Spanish classical guitarist Francisco Tárrega (1852-1909). It’s a worldwide favorite, performed here by Cressentia.
