As Within, So Without is a dance film exploring identity, duality, and inner conflict through movement and visual storytelling. Brooke Milliner choreographed the piece, which Christian Bevilacqua and RULA Design Studio filmed and animated. Commissioned by Coventry University, the project forms part of a wider research study into the ontology and digital ownership of dance in online spaces.

Rooted in the Cherokee legend of the two wolves, one of light and

the other of darkness, the piece symbolises the battle between opposing forces

within the self. The wolf that wins is the one we choose to feed.

"In every shadow,

there's light — and in every light, a shadow."

Set in a stark and cinematic environment, the film follows a

single protagonist who appears in three forms: the angel, the demon, and the self.

These entities orbit, clash, and dance around one another — wrestling with

dominance, acceptance, and transformation.

This work merges contemporary dance, digital animation, and

symbolic performance, examining how we perform our inner selves in physical and

digital spaces.
