A Good Madness

This feature documentary captures the essence of the woman and power of the dance created by Rachel Browne (1934-2012), Canadian modern dance icon and founder of Canada's oldest professional modern dance company, Winnipeg's Contemporary Dancers. The film seeks a visceral and visual understanding of Rachel Browne, through her body of dance work, the bodies and souls of the artists who have danced with her, and through her voice and that of her family. Despite challenges and personal trauma, and because of them, Rachel Browne chose to survive and to adapt, exposing a raw desire to create dance to the exclusion of all else.
