As part of the series, Tyus choreographed Pool Without Water, a surreal short film created remotely with director Nikolay Zheludovich and five Moscow-based acrobats. Developed across Los Angeles and Moscow during the pandemic, the project transformed distance and isolation into an unconventional international collaboration.
