Recent Collaborations and Performances

Scarcity & Abundance (2023 release date) is a setting of two dance films that live together in opposition while seeking balance through constraints. Prompted by the emotional and artistic challenges of living and working separately from his partner for the 18 months leading up to 2020, photographer Jonathan Potter devised this work as a mediation on loneliness and creativity.

Director and Producer Jonathan Potter worked with Photographer and Filmmaker Brian Hashimoto and dancer Jhia Jackson to develop the concept and capture Abundance in late 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic threatened to prevent the completion of the project, but in late 2022 dancer Katy Meeks and Potter collaborated the final sections of Scarcity.
