The Doll Pit was a film produced by Washington Ensemble Theater in 2021.
Join Cherdonna’s maker and The Doll Pit co-star, Jody Kuehner, while she speaks with her nearest and dearest. Drawing from inspiration for her feature-length dance film, Jody and her guests reflect on their experience with isolation, creative collaboration, and the no-bullshit info on how they are all just getting by.
The process of creating the world of the Doll Pit began with designing and building a replica of Jody’s real-life apartment on a sound stage, shooting the first half of the film with Jody’s character, and then re-building and dressing the skeleton of the set into “Cherdonna’s apartment” before shooting the second half.
