I didn't get to the VVC show, but luckily someone recced Identical Snowflakes to me in passing (I unfortunately can't remember who), so I watched it streaming back in the room (OMG THE STREAMING! \o/ ).

I adored it, and ended up showing it to a bunch of our mutual pals when I was on the west coast recently. I was struck not just by song choice (excellent) and tone (exquisite), but also the way it used pretty much noting but dance footage and yet never felt samey or repetitive. Each piece of dancing ended up meaning something new, each one a building block to a unified throughline. Visual flourishes of the dancing would echo with the words and the music to create a whole new image in my head/heart, and that's vidding at its very best.
