arriving nowhere

When we stop trying to become, we remember we already are. That is the dance.

Arriving Nowhere (now, here) is a meditation into presence through motion. Where becoming falls away and being quietly returns.
Filmed across ancient landscapes in India, the film follows Andrea Cardenas in a dance without choreography, without destination. Led by instinct and surrender, her body becomes a vessel in dialogue with temple ruins, riverbanks, and stone thresholds, tracing a slow rebirth into the eternal now.

Echoing the Tāndava, Shiva’s mythic dance of creation and dissolution, the film dissolves boundaries between the inner and outer worlds. It invites us into a dreamlike space where life does not move from us, but through us, where the boundary between self and world begins to blur. A slow unraveling of the need to know, to name, to arrive . . . until what remains is a rewilding of the spirit.
