Outdoor Dance Project Continued . . .
November 2019. See December below.
This November 2019, Tessa danced outdoors at her mother's home. It was 11 degrees with snow on the ground and a strong wind coming from the north. It was dreadfully cold, quite unpleasant, actually, but she made it! Her technical instruments did not adjust well to the temperature change, so she learned much from this filming experience.
Please note that while the iPhone is lovely, viewing with a maximized computer screen & with sound captures these images and videos best. Every time Tessa maximizes her screen, her mouth drops open because it's so beautiful.
Being interested in nude images of the human body, Tessa finds them to have an aesthetic value. They showcase the beauty of the created human form. Drawn to the story of Francis of Assisi, how he removed his clothing to prove his point, leaving behind riches to serve Christ, how Christ hung naked from the cross, and how the Greeks were fascinated with the human form and portrayed it in their art (even the Romans), so Tessa strives to push herself. Struggling with body image, she took her simple frame into the cold. While getting bare towards the end of this clip, all of her humble parts remain covered. In the end, she holds her arms to the heavens.
December 2019
December was inspiring! Tessa has SO many videos to share. To start, we'll begin with utilizing multiple filters.

Because of the numerous videos taken this month (December 2019), Tessa has many photos as a result. She applied various filters to them. Since she wants her art to be genuine, sincere, simple, honest, even flawed, she doesn't edit her videos much. "I only use my computer camera to capture footage and photography. It's shocking: to create beautiful things with minimal equipment. What a delight!" she says.
From the videos this month, Tessa also created several promos. Some are silly, some are serious.
