Small Explosions That Are Yours to Keep

A woman breaks free from the physical and psychological binds of a stifling relationship. 

the LXD

The Legion of eXtraordinary Dancers

Season 1, Episode 1
terrible acting and a less-than-thrilling plot are well-balanced in this webseries by fabulous dancing which is captured brilliantly by the camera. All 3 seasons are available for free on hulu.
Here are my two favorite episodes, which could easily stand alone as dance short film:

Duet
Season 1, Episode 6

Elliot's Shoes

Season 1, Episode 8

PAINTED

...the first in a trilogy of screendance films about our tug-of-war with wilderness. Here we explore a building's decay. The choreography and original score are both in decrescendo to illustrate the building's retreat from the physical world, and Nature's advance on it.

by RUBBERBANDance Group

 ...a poetic investigation of the herd vs. pack mentality, the dichotomy of abundance and scarcity, and the inner conflict between social assimilation vs. the need for individualism.
