Dancer Floeur Alder, daughter of ballet luminaries Lucette Aldous and Alan Alder survives a brutal attack. While physical wounds heal, trauma stirs turbulent past memories, sparking a deeply personal quest to find her place in the dance world.

Critics describe the 2025 documentary as a “poetic and unflinching portrait” of dancer Floeur Alder’s resilience Dance Australia labeled it a “landmark moment” with “striking visual beauty,” while FilmInk praised its depiction of dance as “both vulnerability and armour”.

Q&A following the screening with Floeur Alder moderated by Ausdance ACT Executive Director Dr. Cathy Adamek joined by a panel of experts from the ACT. The session will both provide insight into the film as well as explore the power of dance and healing.

A documentary by Dawn Jackson, presented by Ausdance ACT for Australian Dance Week in collaboration with the National Film and Sound Archive.
