Join us tomorrow at "In Courageous Form" to see the premiere of "Replaced", the new film we collaborated on with .cosic

"Replaced" explores how in uncertain times, we move carefully, aware that others may step into our rhythm. Yet even a brief pause, with a placeholder in place, allows us to return to the floor—renewed, realigned, and ready to lead the next step.

Filmed at the Link Auditorium, premiering at Delmar DivINe, supported by , and created by local dancers, musicians, and video artists, this short film is a testament to the incredible community and talent in St. Louis.

Replaced features Big Plate collaborators , Sam Mitchell, and .paige on the screen, accompanied by original soundscore. Videography by Zlatko Ćosić and Denis Talović, with Direction and Editing by Zlatko Ćosić.
