When a troubled writer accidentally channels the spirit of celebrated yet tragic dancer Vaslav Nijinsky, her life and the lives of those around her take a turn as they learn what it means to “be yourself.”

​Currently through funded development, Dancing Beyond is a feature screenplay ready for production.

This optimistic drama is loosely based on the non-fiction works by Italian writer, Monica Canducci:
"Turn to Heal—Dancing Beyond: Diary of a Transincarnation" and "Turn to Heal: To the Afterlife and Beyond - Diary of a Transincarnation (2019)."

The screenplay is written by Irish screenwriter, Sarah Daly.
