In December 2020, Joanna traveled for a creative residency at the Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography (MANCC) to work on her film called Nothing’s changed except for everything with Tallahassee-based video artist and MANCC Media Specialist Chris Cameron and remotely with New York-based musician/composer Ryan Seaton. This film takes solo movement that she has been working on for the past two and a half years as part of her larger project,’lectric Eye, and tells a digital story of personal and collective loss and the human body’s potential for persistence, resistance, and power. Kotze and Cameron visited multiple sites in Tallahassee, from city parks to campus garages, to film footage.
