Surrealism Part I

Storyline
            Sydney had a horrible childhood. She grew up in an abusive household and was terrified just about every day of her life. A place that is supposed to be safe and provide comfort was something Sydney did not have. The place she called "home" was hell to her. She had a beat down drunken father and an insane mother.
           At the age of six, Sydney had witnessed a horrific tragedy. Other than witnessing and being the victim of abuse by her so called "father", she was there the night her mother was murdered. She went to the kitchen to listen to the fight between her mother and father. As she was hiding behind the wall listening to all the loud yelling, the fight became brutally violent. In result, Sydney saw her mother's lifeless body laid out on the kitchen floor looking right into her eyes.
           A puddle of blood begins to appear on the kitchen floor and flows in between the floor tiles like a river. As she backs away slowly she made the floor squeak. Her father now staring into her eyes with a monstrous look, she turns to run. He yells her name and chases her. Running in fear she hides. He finds her hiding in the closet and apologizes for what happened. Her father hides the body and cleans up the kitchen. No one suspected a thing.
           Seven years has gone by since the murder occurred. Sydney has been going to school and has no friends. She doesn't speak to anyone. The tragic experience she witnessed has caused her to become mute. She has learned sign language to communicate with others.
           The abuse towards Sydney gradually reached an end, but she still gets hit when she gets in her father's way. She hasn't told anyone about her father and what he has done to her and her mother. She keeps it bottled up inside. But she tries to express it all in a different and more beautiful form.
           Sydney's greatest passion is dance. Although her father will not pay for her to take dance, Sydney learns on her own, mostly ballet. She has been learning for almost four years. She feels this is the only way she could really speak, the only way she can tell her story. She is free to express every emotion and feeling she has built inside, and she releases it all through dance.
Plan
          With this project I hope to capture and create this exact story. I want my model to be an innocent and pure dancer who is really expressive. It should take place in some kind of dance studio with a dance bar and mirrors. Elements of her abusive and horrific past will be the theme of the studio. They include a bloody floor, dead mother, terrifying father, dark skies, depressing feel, etc. It should almost feel like she's dancing in her greatest nightmare, unlike most teenagers dreaming of dancing in their greatest fantasy.
