Briana Marela reveals acrobatic visuals for sombre single "Dani"
Briana Marela has unveiled her majestic aerialist-centric clip for latest single "Dani".
The track features on All Around Us, Marela's Jagjaguwar debut. It's about a friend who was going through depression.
Marela's friend, Jody Poth, an aerialist and mutual friend of the song's subject, choreographed this bespoke routine for the video: "I knew instantly that I wanted to collaborate with Briana on this piece; I could see how the nature of the aerial silk would create these artificial limits that a body can push through, just as in life."
The video's director, Alicia J Rose, adds: "Transforming Briana's idea into striking visuals and creative framing to capture Jody's incredible performance was an exciting and fun challenge. In editing the piece I aimed for a lyrical intimate cut where the music drives the performance and the viewer almost feels like they are up in the air with the dancer, a perspective we rarely get to see with aerial dance"
All Around Us is out now on Jagjaguwar.
