Hoop

A woman floats in a black void, swinging through shafts of light, keeping in perpetual motion an incandescent and familiar childhood toy: the hula hoop. Carino and Halls—AKA Becca Hoops—shot footage for their DANCE MOViES Commission in residency at EMPAC. Trained in ballet and contemporary dance, Carino also has a postgraduate degree in broadcast journalism and has made several documentary films in addition to the dance films. HOOP was also commissioned by Canada’s Bravo!FACT program
