SYNOPSIS
“When I first started dancing, I had no one to look up to. No one who looked like me... And I often wonder, if I had seen someone that looked like me, how would that have shaped my mind? My vision?”
—
In MAKING SPACE, Ingrid Silva—ballerina, activist and new mother—talks with Kim Barke about growing up in Brazil, her unlikely entry into the world of professional ballet, confronting the challenges of being a Black ballerina in a predominantly White space, becoming a new mom in turbulent times, and turning to activism and advocacy. She then breaks into dance—mere months after having given birth to her daughter—in a performance that made us all *gasp* on set. Produced by The Bloc, ¡Bricolagista! had opportunity to direct and co-produce this film. MAKING SPACE premiered at Cannes Lions in June 2021.
