tashi duncan as dayanara vega

if you're bad, she'll say so. better form, point your toes, arch your back. she's strict, but she's good. there's a grace behind her movement quality, an easiness that looks natural to her. she also had a knee injury (a few years back) and now has taken up a teaching position. if you're good, she'll tell you, and she'll be unbelievably proud of you for making it a few more steps.

patrick as gavin morales

he's sharp and fierce, confident in himself and his abilities- and as he should be. he's overflowing with talent, all hips and chest, spotting on point. his moves stick, never flowing unless they need to be. he's good at being himself- after all, everyone wants to be him.

art as kurtis sprung

he's mastered the classics and foundation, starting in ballet and creating a whole new interpretation of fusion. his movements are fluid and slick, he knows how to control his body, his muscles and his strength. he dances for himself and his own comfort, turning different genres into a style that's completely his own.

now playing:

wait guys hear me out… death of a party girl is SO patrick after he lost both art and tashi in one day. i like to think that he turned to partying and that scene to take his mind off of it, definitely spiralling downward sometime before we see him again in 2019

last goodbye - your boyfriend that you had met through the challenge, panic. Wanted to travel the world but you wanted a different path, resulting you both in having to split. Before he leaves, you need to tell him your last goodbye.

dream brother — after being cheated and left by natalie, he decided enough was enough. It was hard enough trusting someone new, now when meeting you. His barriers were harder to crack. He didn’t want you to be like the one who made him feel old and used, pushing you away when he realized he was falling for you.

Patrick zweig

so real — when your ex needs a place to stay, he confesses his continuing love while you confess your fear of it, he’s willing to prove why you don’t have to be.

lover, you should’ve come over — after losing tashi, art and then you. He realized his wrong doings, his struggle of committing because he was ‘too young’ and too deaf dumb and blind to see the damage he’d done, he was always wondering where you were because, damn he needed you. he tried to be better especially for you when he meets your eyes at a bar, after meeting eyes, he gets a chance to follow you, when you offer help. He has to decline until he watches you walk away.

Art Donaldson

forget her — you, tashi’ bestfriend knew that she was cheating on art with his bestfriend, now you knew it was wrong and you never admitted it but you had feelings for art, here was your chance to slip in and convince him to finally forget her after he’d found out.

mojo pin — after your breakup with your ex, art. He turned to drugs and that had impacted him and his choices. He was constantly calling you, cursing you out through text, crying through voicemails for you. What other choice did you have but to visit him and help him?

Connor Murphy

grace — he had to admit, he wasn’t afraid to die and leave the pain he had, though..he met you. Someone with the same tendencies as him, a complete stoner, depressed. Everything that he had and what he did. maybe life wasn’t so bad when you both were ready to die together but stayed for each other. Now, someone had loved him for real.

finnick o’dair

lilac wine — you had lost your the love of your life, the one who you had married not too long ago and the one you were going to have children with, you turned to alcohol. You knew it wasn’t traditional and it wasn’t healthy but did you care? No but only for one reason, you saw your lover all over again. You weren’t exactly what it was. His ghost? A demon? Not sure but it made you happy. It made you excited to start the day but one thing you knew was that it had to stop, you had to put an end to this.

i wrote about design for living & challengers in relation to each other last year for an unpublished essay on threesome movies. in celebration of the upcoming watchparty, here's a paragraph:

Challengers is surprisingly close to Design for Living in narrative. A threesome past haunts the principals, two talented men are inspired by the patron Mother who does not do the same work, the trio fail at monogamous relationships before finding three-way unity. Both Gilda and Tashi end up in convenient marriages that represent their dissatisfaction not only romantically, but in their identities and careers as well. This similarity in particular illuminates why both these films work where some others with similar premises don’t. Polyamory isn’t the point, it’s the setting. The domination of monogamy impacts all facets of life. A woman’s conventional role extends past fidelity. She is expected to sacrifice everything for her husband: her individuality, her labor, her spirit. Gilda and Tashi both succumb to then fight against this loss — the polyamory is almost incidental. It’s only evidence that they are no longer victims of patriarchal exchange.
