StoryBooked | Dancing Through the Waters with Julie Gautier

Water has always played an important role in Julie Gautier’s life. Growing up in Reunion Island, she cultivated a love of dance from her mother and found a way to combine her two passions. We follow Julie as she dives deep into the underwater world in Cenote El Oxman in Playa del Carmen in Mexico, culminating her trip in a transformative performance inspired by her travels.

StoryBooked is a documentary series following creative travelers on their journeys around the world as they explore destinations with deep personal meaning and discover how travel has the power to inspire and transform us.

Produced by the Marriott Content Studio.

Took my breath away . I always remember to respect what nature hides more than it chooses to reveal. Thanks for the experience! ❤

Thank you for this short film. A beautiful piece of storytelling. Julie Gautier is a magnificent Artist and it is such a priviledge to have access to her background story.

She’s dived to depths unimaginable to most and blended with the very water that embraces her; but the true depth and is the truly unimaginable; is in her very being, her soul perhaps, which knows no boundaries and has no end in an endless web that appears to have no weaver, but forms and evolves out of this amazing lady’s portrayal of such natural beauty in an environment that is alien, but truly mystical and magical, revealing itself in heart gripping emotions of the intense drama that keeps evolving and revealing yet more emotions in such beautiful and wondrous art and a glimpse perhaps, into her natural being. My sincere admiration.

These short films played on my TV while I was staying in a Marriott in Bali. I watched around 7 of them. They're all beautifully made. Well done Marriott. 👏

I don't travel very much, and I spend even less time watching TV. Nevertheless, I had the opportunity to stay in a Marriott hotel during a work trip in the US.

You'll understand when I say that the last thing I ever expected was to find myself genuinely engaged by the "lobby channel" of a hotel TV.

When I turned on the TV in my room, I found myself captivated by the relaxing, enchanting quality of the Storybooked series of short films that was on loop. After a long day of travel, I decided to just leave the TV on the Marriott Bonvoy channel. I found myself turning it on whenever I was in the room, not even bothering to browse for anything else on TV. It might sound really weird, but it's the truth.

Storybooked is better than your average TV content, without jarring, annoying commercial breaks (admittedly, the entire channel is self-advertising -- but you get the point). Simultaneously relaxing and stimulating.

Please keep Storybooked going, and know that such high-quality programming is appreciated by your guests.

It’s absolutely beautiful!! Listening to it while watching her in the water is almost transcending!!

Мне нравится всё, что им удаётся создать под водой : танец, музыку, которую они используют.Это всё неординарно, вряд ли кто повторит, в таком качестве.
