AMA – Underwater Dance Devoted to All the Women in the World

By Julie Gautier

We would like to cover the most fierce and memorable dance of 2018-19 performed underwater by French dancer Julie Gautier. The short film named AMA which means in Japanese “woman of the sea” is devoted to all the women in the world. Julie Gautier’s essential message is “you are not alone… open yourself to others, talk about your sufferings and your joys.”

The dancer and filmmaker showed stunning choreography, dancing effortlessly and fluidly inside the world’s deepest pool located in Venice, Italy. Through a few uninterrupted minutes, Julie Gautier was gracefully gliding through the tranquil water, swirling and spinning, conveying powerful and artistic performance.

Gautier and her husband, world champion deep sea diver Guillaume Néry, worked together on the 2015 Beyoncé and Arrow Benjamin music video Runnin, and collaborate on an underwater film company called Les Films Engloutis.

As everything truly authentic, this film evokes deep sentiments and truly deserves to be seen. (and if you loved the movie like us, be sure to watch the Making Of video at the end of this article)
