In the Thick of the Middle follows a woman who is caught in-between water and land, dreams and reality, and seasons. The camera follows as she weaves through shifting textures and densities on and off land. Originally inspired by a reoccurring dream and the dilemma of choice-making in the choreographic process, In the Thick of the Middle is part of a larger multi-media performance project by Ellen Oliver.
