Just Dance: Sink or Swim

London-based director Louis-Jack dives into the mind of a woman struggling with depression in this film supported in part by The Royal Ballet, Studio Wayne McGregor and mental health charity Mind. Starring Francesca Hayward, a principal dancer with The Royal Ballet, the film was inspired by an oil painting of Northern Irish artist Ian Cumberland, in which he depicts himself submerged, fully clothed, in a bath of water. Royal Ballet Young Choreographer program participant Charlotte Edmonds was behind the film's choreography and genesis.
