Our communication with others is also built on incommunicability, misunderstandings. FRAINTENDIMENTI moves on this subtle rope invisible as well as tangible of the sense of incomprehension of bodies and minds. A deviated or incomplete interpretation of an action or a word, the misunderstanding moves according to one's point of view, according to each person's socio-psychological background and inevitably affects the strings of our imagination. The imaginary that at that juncture overwhelmingly takes possession of the most rational part. The investigation of the movement of bodies takes us to the most introverted plane of incomprehension, the moment in which we are no longer in phase with the surrounding world; when an internal phase shift is created, a confusion in the mind where multiple parts, rational and irrational, coexist. In the non-communicability, there is a superposition of the points of view between the parts, a space-time overlap in reading the same event that perhaps creates in each of us this confused feeling towards the other: staying close or far so as not to disappear?

Lower the Head film by Zhou LiHeng (c) 2019 CHINA "When you look down at the moment, can you notice the beautiful scenery around you?" The idea of dance video originates from daily life, on the way to and from work, on the bus and on the street everywhere. This is the norm now, like an addiction. People will always say a word, "no matter how difficult the front, we can not bow", this is how inspirational words, but all of us in front of the phone underground their head, this is what people often say "bow" it. Filmed in a dark space, dancers seem to be blindfolded and immersed in their own world. Abstract expressions, staring blankly, sometimes they do not know what they are wrong. The stretched body movements in the repressed space express the fantasy and emptiness of the virtual world. It has become an indispensable part of our life, work, entertainment, shopping, food and so on, if it is not our life is lack of color? The length of the video is set at two minutes or so of the short film.

Retrouvailles film by Gracie Metcalf (c) 2020 USA Throughout the entire world, the effects of the global pandemic and resulting isolation have impacted countless areas of life to include the performing arts world. Set in an empty theatre space, this Dance On Film seeks to investigate these consequences on the performing arts world as well as redefine what it means to connect and create in these times. We lost the ability to perform for an audience. To gather and dance together. To stand on a stage and truly perform. To create freely. To breathe freely. To work. To connect. But we can connect. We can reunite. We can rediscover. We can innovate and diversify. Performance finds a way. Performance always adapts. It’s an integral part of the human experience. It’s how we relate to eachother and make sense of the world. "The show must go on." -P.T.

It also delves into that rusty, awkward and less fluid sensation when attempting to dance/move/improvise at recent times due to being home-bound for so long. The film also touches on how I have spent this time during lock-down to reflect on myself and the world in much more depth, and I have found myself appreciating everything much more, in particular the environment. It has put everything into perspective more, and has made me appreciate (even more than I already did before) how we need to conserve and look after the world we live in and the creatures we coexist with.

A city with everything going for it is still haunted by the ghosts of its past and despite much progress, it finds itself unearthing old wounds. Narrated by celebrated actor, Pep Munné, who appeals for calm, there is a sense of reassurance that all is okay. The movement of the city however tells a different story, and he is resigned to the fact that things inevitably, are the way they are. Barcelonians, in pursuit of happiness, find themselves on a treadmill  to nowhere in a tale of modern day life. Moving Barcelona is the eighth film in an award-winning collection of works by the London-based film-maker, Jevan Chowdhury to capture the world as a stage. Life on the street in London, Paris, Brussels, Dallas, Prague, Yerevan and Athens have all been recorded in this growing canon.

The film follows the perspectives of a couple, drawing parallels among the trust-building process between human individual, between programmatic systems, and between men and machines or artificial systems. Their bodily movement evokes the state of tension as well as bonding throughout the process of noticing, connecting, trusting and syncing with each other. Amidst uncertainties in this age of hybrid lives, and this era of technological transformations where we become increasingly intertwined with artificial realities, the film poses the question of what it takes to be really in sync with another identity.

A group of people emerges from the water. They try to resist the current of the river and the stream of people in the city, but have to surrender to the flow and are washed ashore. On the shore, the stranded seek for hold and refuge. In the course of the film ‘against or with the flow', ‘resistance and devotion’ manifest as a primal instinct, as a survival strategy.

Bodies and costume merge with the materials and shapes, resonating the textural and rhythmic layers of the urban landscapes. The work suggests an embodied ethnographic view of the local, drawing on the visceral ability of the artists to capture ephemeral sensibilities through their presence. This montage highlights echoes of the now along with fragments of the past, revealing the stories that are engrained in the desecrated architecture and felt through the movements of the people of the city.

In various settings, they found that, while observing the world presented upon them, they themselves become the object of observation by many others. The interaction between the dancers and their casual ‘audience’ makes their roles – audience vs. performer – blurred and interchangeable. Who are the performers and who are the audience?

The video seeks to identify and dissolve barriers between human and wild in the Anthropocene where we are increasingly more likely to navigate urban jungles comprised of concrete and glass than an old growth forest and its streams; where we are more likely to touch manmade, inanimate materials than the constantly changing and sensing textures of nature; where we are more immersed in the scent of gas and smoke than grass and bark; and, where we spend more time making eye contact with our own digital image than we do with our neighbors.

Pushing as a metaphor of human effort against the walls, barriers, limits that we set for ourselves in the space. A small, ordinary room in a city apartment is transformed into a laboratory of tactile sensuality. The two women are pushing walls that cannot be pushed. They accentuate the limits of their space and celebrate their creative effort. Their direct and focused manner, free from stereotypes of femininity creates an analogy with their efforts in everyday life. Pushing to give birth, pushing for their rights towards equality of all sexes and transgenders, pushing as trying to juggle the multiple roles that they have to assume in society. Towards the end, they realize that the walls did fall nor nor disappear. They accept, they move on, more freely and happy to have pushed, as they roll their way out of the imprints and statements that they left in the space.

In the legend, a pregnant woman is immured to make the walls of the monastery stand. After further research, I came across the belief of the “stahie,” or shadow, an ancient Eastern European belief and practice that in order for the walls of a building to stand, someone has to be built into the walls either physically (i.e their body), or metaphysically (i.e their shadow). As I delved into the legend and this belief, I found myself facing my many shadows - my many possibilities and my many fears. I found myself questioning: Who is the shadow? What reality/possibility do I choose? Does it even matter, if we all fade away from memory and existence, leaving nothing behind? Ultimately, I was questioning whether, as a woman, it was more important for me to create, or to reproduce. And, why do I have this need? Is it to achieve a sort of immortality, a way to exist beyond my existence, whether through the creation of offspring, or art creation? The shadows represent my personal struggle of what realities/possibilities to choose as a woman artist - art creation vs. procreation. Besides the central theme being a female dilemma, this film is female created (directed, composed, performed, and edited by women).

The help given is often taken without the knowledge of the person receiving it; as if an invisible safety net is constantly restoring them back to a safe stance. This piece is inspired by the physicality of teetering to the edge and then past the point of no return. And is brought to life by the sacrifice of a keeper’s responsibility to stabilize their partner. This piece is an exploration of the physical and mental relationship between falling and catching.

What theme do you want to shoot? What pictures? It became a problem for us, and when we decided that Gunica was going to be the dancer, one of the things that came out of that was the idea of starting from the dancer herself, and developing from her life experience. As a director, the pictures we want to shoot are different from each other. In the case of limited time, we choose to let go of the limitations, use the dancers' bodies to shoot the pictures we want, and finally gather all the materials together for second creation. So the six of us ended up producing six different versions of the image, and I think it was a really good creative process, a workout, a growth."

The micro beach is situated on the edge of the Brisbane River and sees many people pass by on boats, jogging past though the park, as well as vehicles zoom over the large structure of a bridge above. Furthermore, set with the skyline of modern skyscrapers in the background, the characters are surrounded by large, rigid, man made structures. The little beach, in contrast, is a place the four characters meet and connect and interact, escaping the world that surrounds them. However, Juxtaposed to this sense of freedom and escape, their movement output is deliberate, clunky and hard, resonating their surroundings. Silt was created for four dance students who were 17, 18, 19, and 20 years of age at the time of filming in November 2018. The four enthusiastic student dancers worked with Claire Marshall in Claire's "Test Pressing" Project Group to extend dance experiences at a pre-professional level.

Life: Plastic Wrapped is film by Sasha Chudacoff in collaboration with other interdisciplinary artists. It was filmed and edited during 2020 Quarantine. Did you know plastics are making a HUGE comeback due to covid-19? The increase of plastic production and waste has been directly effected by this global pandemic. The poem,"I am a head in a plastic bag (for sasha)" was written by collaborator, Haley White in relation to my obsession with our plastic problem.Taking ownership of my own participation in our plastic world and climate catastrophe has allowed me to contemplate these issues on a deeper level. If the earth body is in crisis, our human bodies are in crisis. What are the connections of our own Neuroplasticity (ability for human brain to change and rewire itself) and the earths plasticity (ability to change form)? This is now where I now stay with the trouble of plastic in all its metaphors in our modern times. What are the regenerative healing practices to engage?

A solitary, vulnerable performer confronts the body’s desire to break free, while only breath escapes. His physical struggle to move is a portrait of resistance to stasis, stagnation, loss and futility. Krastin describes himself as “a gay, white, South African of a certain privilege and class in relation to other bodies.” He suggests that the work deals with race and is intended to “expose and speak to the larger politics that affect us all.” More than 20 years after Mandela became president, South Africa – like so much of the world – is still constrained and divided by race, gender and class. The struggle for freedom is ongoing.

In 1983 as a child on a school excursion to The Queensland Museum, (Brisbane, Australia), I became lost from the class and found myself inquisitively exploring the museum, it’s winding staircases, hidden spaces, unique Dinosaur murals, and progressive eclecticism style architecture. I slinked thought the building unbeknownst to the museum staff to eventually find my school class. 30 years later, journeying through the now defunct building as an adult, memories of the people and discoveries I made as a child return.

In this regard, the work is conceived as a series of disparate, distinctive, and relatively static musical states that provides an ever-changing sonic canvas, which the pianist(s) may alter at will. In performances that include solo dancer and/or electronics, the result is a kind of dynamic and unpredictable “feedback loop” between the various elements; this fixed video realization of the work was created specifically for the type of remote concert experience that has become common (and necessary) during the current pandemic. Chain of Circumstances was supported by a grant from Texas Woman’s University, and composed in February-March 2020 for pianist Richard Shuster and dancer/choreographer Jordan Fuchs.

It is in constant movement. A gate changes into numerous different forms, and we encounter the roads of this world in many strands. In this journey, we humans carry on our way oscillating in between brightness and darkness, light and shadow, drawing one's track of life in a flowing curve without going against the nature. If we were to say there always exist rows of gates leading one after another as we pass through, we can hardly assert that the end of life is death.

WHIRLING LADDER | BETWEEN is a dance production from YIBU Dance. It not only shows the compelling interaction of human bodies, but also the indissoluble connection between body and space-time and ultimately between dance and viewer, by interweaving the principles of Chinese martial art--Wing Chun and the geometry of DNA base pairs with artistic precision.

Body as the subject of performance is the most honest matter. We perform especially when someone else is watching.

The film starts in a dystopic digital world where we see a conveyor belt processing endless women with perfect smiles plastered on their face and synchronously performing pageantry gestures. A single avatar is able to break free of the near trance-like state of this world’s other inhabitants and explores a strange portal. Upon entering the portal, we are shifted to the ‘real’ world, and while our protagonist realizes that the forced smiles and saturated pink aesthetic are gone, not everything was left behind. Our protagonist must face herself and her own doubts that have been imprinted upon her by other people’s opinions. She then returns to her dystopian universe, but with the conviction that she can dictate her own path in life.

The film was developed to a great extent through improvisation and experimentation both in the choreographic and the cinematographic work and with a focus on site-specific principles. Through movement, music, visual effects, and composition it tackles themes such as the relationship to one's self and solitude. The choreographic language is highly influenced by gestural movement, ranging from the quotidian to the highly dramatic and absurd.

(February 2022) - BEYOND film by Simone Wierød (c) 2020 DENMARK BEYOND is the aesthetic response to one of humankind’s current strategies to handle a global pandemic. Removing oneself from civilization and detaching from whatever does not serve us anymore. Exploring new truths and roads to inner peace seem to be the only way to rise above collective anxiety. The film presents a number of absurd and surreal tableaus - a human beings’ awkward attempts on connecting with nature to only find herself more alienated than before. The lack of movement, the abstract non-moving dance, creates an interaction between inner and external motions. Like someone said: When you cannot go outside – go inside.

(February 2022) - Left Behind film by Monika Koeck (c) 2009 UK LEFT BEHIND is an emotional portrait of Liverpool's famous Tobacco Warehouse (1901); a grade II listed building that is considered being the largest brick building in the world. Today, the industrial warehouse lies empty in a vast and abandoned dock landscape. The expressive space portrayed in the film is inhabited by an enigmatic figure that, in terms of its scale and appearance, seems to live in a symbiosis with the building and its site. LEFT BEHIND offers a mysterious "vision" of a warehouse that is today a "shadow of itself". The short film circles around the themes of presence/absence, empty landscapes, beauty/grace and, by demonstrating that the site is not as "left behind" as perhaps thought, offers a hopeful glimpse into the future of its development.

(February 2022) - High Winds & Slippery Surfaces film by Pernille Spence, Corinna Jola & Zoë Irvine (c) 2021 UK In High Winds & Slippery Surfaces a fleeting body fights to maintain control of their movement as they find themselves in an unstable and unpredictable environment. The film experiments with the friction between physical action, sound and space to awaken the kinaesthetic sense of the viewer. Repeated disruption in the flow of action and sound together with the abrupt changes between involuntary and choreographed movements creates a dark, unsettling viewing experience as the sonically immersive environment takes the viewer beyond the screen supporting a greater sense of awareness of the space surrounding them. High Winds & Slippery Surfaces was a 'One Minute' commission by GOAT media and Screen.dance.

Along with long-time collaborators Jamie Wright, François Richard and Lauren Semeschuk, José Navas has joined forces with director Damian Siqueiros to explore this artistic avenue. About José Navas/Compagnie Flak Artistic director of Compagnie Flak, founded in 1995, José Navas carries out his overall artistic approach in three distinct ways: he dances with intensity in solo shows charged with emotion, he constructs abstract and captivating group pieces, and he creates pieces of contemporary ballet with classicism and sensitivity. As a soloist, his performances reveal a richly sensitive maturity – a quality that has earned him invitations to dance on the most prestigious local and international stages. In 2013, surrounded by a hundred musicians from the Brussels Philharmonic, he performed his solo version of The Rite of Spring. Invited as choreographer in residence for Ballet BC, he contributed 3 pieces to that company’s repertoire, including an iconoclastic version of Giselle, and made a commission for the prestigious National Ballet of Canada. In 2015, he created Dénouement/Auflösung for Staatstheater Mainz in Germany. An Associate Dance Artist of the National Arts Centre, José Navas has presented his work in 30 countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia.

The sessions have been documented on video over the last four years. 'Safe Piece' shows a unique dance piece based on the question of how to combine parenting and making dance. Onstage, the family develops a non verbal language that allows them to be all at once within a multitude of polarized dimensions : private and public, playing and performing, caring and taking risks, improvising and creating choreography.

Identidad en Maternidad presents the choreographer's/dancer's holistic and embodied journey of instability and anxiety as she rediscovers and mourns the loss of her identity, image of self and body through pedestrian movements and gestures against blurred thrashing and repetitive grabbing motions. The choreographer recognizes personal celebrations of mothering through the lens of her Mexican/Latinx identity as she weaves a traditional Mexican lullaby sung in their family for generations into her exploration. Inspired by the choreographer's lived-experience, Identidad en Maternidad critiques the stereotype that motherhood equals happiness and brings awareness to the oppressive feelings that arise for mothers who are silenced by societal expectations. The work reveals complexities of motherhood through two contrasting visual worlds: an everyday reality and a mother's inner dialog depicted within a black void.

The film was created and inspired by actual events that occurred - some revealed by Claire's grandmother, and some revealed after decades of mystery and silence were uncovered. The film explores the vulnerability of women whose children were removed from them for any number of reasons including, mental health, failure to keep a tidy house, having a chid out of wedlock, or even having a child with a person of a different colour. Often women were placed into mental institutions if their husbands deemed them unfit as wives - the case for Emily, who eventually filed for divorce from coercive Charles (who was from a family of successful touring vaudeville entertainers) after meeting another man- an act almost unheard of at the time. Once subjected to time in a mental ward, their fate was almost certain as the women were subjected to brutal medical treatment, medications and procedures that made their situation worse - as was the fate for Emily, Claire's great grandmother. Ward of State is informed by Claire Marshall's research into her family history and is also informed by other similar true stories of young women and girls who were stolen from their families and placed in convents where they worked in laundries unpaid - a common story for many young women in many countries.

I am inspired by our childhood memories, which stay with us as we grow and navigate through life. Memories are like dreams. They can be vivid, fuzzy, or somewhere in between. We can’t physically touch them, but we can visualize the moments and feel the sensations associated with them. Specifically, I am focusing on how returning home can allow certain moments to resurface and possibly hold incredible value. A home isn’t a physical place, rather it’s the people who occupy that space that add meaning to it.

Within the rehearsal process, choreography was built for the dancer’s bodies, while simultaneously considering multiple framing options of the camera to capture said movement. These considerations assisted in the development of the camera’s choreography for the work. The process of choreographing the camera's movement influenced, and was influenced by, the body's movement in the frame. This methodology allowed for observation of the relationships between camera and dancer, and these consideration helped build the score for the final iteration.

Instead, the neurological processing mechanisms in our brains interpret all of the stimuli in our field of vision and cause immediate abstraction in our perception of the world around us in order to help us function and make sense of our experiences. This screen dance explores this neurological principle of vision as viewers are only privileged to specific perspectives or parts of the whole picture. Viewers are therefore encouraged to follow their brain's natural abstraction instinct to interpret and make sense of what is present and what could be present outside of what is clearly visible on the screen.

(June 2022) - 4'33'' Times Three. Homage to an Artist and a Chair film by Daphne Mero (c) 2018 ISRAEL Holding a Thonet chair in his hands and with meticulous and calculating steps, Professor Amos Hetz enters the space of the Polonsky Academy of Advanced Studies. At the age of 83, he re-dances his movement composition “4.33”, created as an homage to the Avant-garde musical piece by John Cage. Hetz is one of Noa Eshkol’s most prominent students, who co-created the Eshkol-Wachman Movement Notation. Like her, he is a revolutionary innovator who found himself on the margins of the Israeli Dance Scene. In the film, a poetic Doco-Dance that weaves together excerpts from Hetz’s dance and artistic declarations, we are treated to new perspectives on Dance, Art and the meanings we take for granted of Chairs and Sitting in them.

(June 2022) - How She Moves Film by Anya Raza & Aisha Linnea Akhtar (c) 2020 PAKISTAN How She Moves follows the spirited Indu Mitha, a 90-year-old dance teacher, as she prepares for her final dance performance. A minority in both religion and profession, Indu has been teaching the classical Bharatanatyam dance form in Pakistan for sixty years. Though traditionally associated with stories of Hindu deities, under her creative direction, the form has been given a secular and feminist flavor in Pakistan. As two women filmmakers, we were allowed rare access into an otherwise unseen world of women and dance in Pakistan. Through an exploration of the colorful artistry of Indu and her students, we glean insight into culture, identity, and freedom of expression in a country where extremism, nationalism, and suspicion of dance as a legitimate art form push the classical dance towards extinction. We now unfortunately live in a time when Muslim and minority women’s views, lives, and bodies are a battleground in the so-called clash of civilizations. In a time when vitriol dominates and divides communities all over the world, How She Moves challenges these narratives by telling a universal story of hope and resilience.

A wall dividing the stage… 'Intramur' is the dance just before the dance. It shows the process of creating the show 'La mort i la donzella' by Asun Noales and based on the work of Franz Schubert. The Spanish choreographer opens her mind and her heart to let us see the place where the first ideas are born, how they grow until they become movement, form, light and darkness. 'La mort i la donzella' ended up receiving three Max Awards, the most important for the performing arts in Spain. But the film 'Intramur' tells a story that happened much earlier, just before the curtain opened for the first time, when a premature death confronts us with looking inside that wall that nobody wants to cross.

The tree had been struck by lightning several years prior to making this work and weathered the storm. In June 2017, when this was shot, I had recently completed my last round of chemotherapy after a diagnosis of breast cancer earlier that year. The video is comprised of footage shot just days before my body was forever altered by surgery. It was the last opportunity to create a site-based piece with body in the landscape as I had known and worked with throughout my life as an artist and a woman. Multiple superimpositions of the figure appear, including a momentary image of the post-surgical body shot later, representing different states of process and being.

Stillness operates at the level of the subject’s desire to invert a certain relationship with time, and with certain (prescribed) corporeal rhythms. Which means that to engage in stillness is to engage into different experiences of perceiving one’s own presence. This is anthropologist and cultural critic Nadia Seremetakis’ insightful notion of the“still act.” For Seremetakis “still acts” are those moments of pause and arrest in which the subject --by physically introducing a disruption in the flow of temporality -- interpellates “historical dust.” Against the flow of the present, -- writes Seremetakis -- there is a stillness in the material culture of historicity; those things, spaces, gestures, and tales that signify the perceptual capacity for elemental historical creation. Stillness is the moment when the buried, the discarded, and the forgotten escape to the social surface of awareness like life-supporting oxygen. It is the moment of exit from historical dust. /André Lepecki/ Lethe (Greek: “Oblivion”), in Greek mythology, daughter of Eris (Strife) and the personification of oblivion. Lethe is also the name of a river or plain in the infernal regions. In Orphism, a Greek mystical religious movement, it was believed that the newly dead who drank from the River Lethe would lose all memory of their past existence. The initiated were taught to seek instead the river of memory, Mnemosyne, thus securing the end of the transmigration of the soul. At the oracle of Trophonius near Lebadeia (modern Levadhia, Greece), which was thought to be an entrance to the underworld, there were two springs called Lethe and Mnemosyne.

Starting from geometry and astronomy he is fascinated by anatomy, proportion and details; these elements compose the core of his transversal scenic imagination. In his works, the body becomes the irradiate core of the artistic research which focuses on analytical exploration of movement as a part of different knowledge. Contextually to artistic research, Nicola Galli creates and manages educational workshops dedicated to children, adults and young dancers, designed to explore the movement, discover new visions and perceptions of the body and new reflections of his own physical and communicative border.

The choreographers work with the cliché of the samba challenged by the possibilities of subverting it. The frame, tight on the hips, is stolen from mainstream Brazilian TV, where Rosane and Andrea grew up. “The Chacrinha frame”, as they like to call, evokes a popular 70’s talent show on Brazilian TV, where, often, the camera zoomed tightly to frame the hips of the dancers, also known as the “chacretes.” By lengthening time, we are forced to contemplate, as the movement reveals itself in an unpredictable way. The tension between hips against legs creates a discomforting “dance of the flesh”, demolishing (metaphorically and literally) the materiality of the body into a disorienting landscape. chameckilerner aspires with SAMBA #2 to create an authentic and visceral experience, drastically changing the perception of the familiar “samba.” This cinematic deconstruction allows for a visualization of what is most visceral about the samba: its primal energy. It is as if our eyes can finally see what our bodies always felt watching the samba: its lush, violence, and undomesticated physicality. All people from all places bring their landscapes in their bodies. SAMBA #2 rescues this landscape.

The film explores the nature of perception by looking at the story of Sarah Page and David “Dick” Rowland and their possible interaction in the Drexel Building elevator, the catalyzing event of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. In the mix are questions about the politics of these two bodies together (White woman and Black man) and America’s general paranoia about these two bodies in contact. In the face of ambiguity about what happened in the elevator, Choreographer Ari Christopher sees a certainty about perception: “What is true for a person is heavily influenced by their position in society and the accompanying fears, resentments, and beliefs — crafted and delivered by our storytellers and meaning-makers.” Ari Christopher - Choreography & Concept Jessica Vokoun - Director of Photography, Costumes & Editor Tulsa Modern - Movement Producer Greenwood Art Project - Producer Kevyn Butler - Dancer Roma Catania - Dancer Adam Crossman - Music Christa Patrick - Costumes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605a7fd1139cb50b7b46dcde/b441ccf2-3536-4ea5-b39a-532ed7806bde/Photo+4+Screen_Shot_2021-04-23_at_11.15.20_AM.jpg FFXRD: Must B Sed (August 2022) - How the World is Painted film by Mia Fortier (c) 2020 CANADA A visual rollercoaster of emotions describing the human experience painted by people of different backgrounds.

We are walking on the thin line that separates the actual and the desired state of mind. The Pirandellian approach about the self and how it is externally perceived permeates the entire structure of the work. In a connected world, our mind and body are often disconnected from the present moment, distracted by what it could have been or what we could have had. We are constantly subjected to a media bombardment that overexposes our senses and paralyses us, giving us the impression of a better present lost in memories and future dreams. In the short film, movement and stillness confront each other in an unbearable fight. Though, even in stagnation there are elements to unveil: there is potential energy, there is the electricity flowing. Join us in this electric journey.

The film continues the ongoing collaboration between choreographer Jody Sperling and composer Matthew Burtner, both acclaimed for their creative engagement with environmental issues. Ironically, while plastic is a proliferating pollutant, it is also something we all share that connects us across virtual spaces—we wear it, we bathe in it, we even breathe it. How we live in plastic tells us about who we are. In Covid’s wake, Sperling began rehearsing remotely with the dancers of her company who were dispersed geographically. Each dancer fashioned a unique plastic costume and investigated a different relationship to the material. Anika Hunter luxuriates in a bathtub filled with plastic bags. Maki Kitahara glides ghostlike in a plastic-bag kimono in a church sanctuary. Sporting a plastic tutu emblazoned with yellow-smiley face, Andrea Trager frolics amid traffic on a busy avenue while her remote partner, Frances Barker, sports a red target on her back on an empty suburban street.

Moving through time along Bae Ceredigion/Cardigan Bay, we arrive at today's climate crisis. Sarn Gynfelyn is revealed every low tide and looks like a road into the sea. In fact, it is a glacial moraine laid down 20,000 years ago when ice sheets melted, and it marks the beginning of the global conditions that have enabled human expansion. At Borth, a 6,000 year old forest flourished for a few thousand years. Submerged by the sea, it has since been re-exposed in recent storms. Sarn Gynfelyn and Borth’s forest are both cited as supporting the Cantre'r Gwaelod legend of lost fertile lands in Cardigan Bay, but the geology tells a different story. Moving forwards, we arrive at Fairbourne, a seaside town built on saltmarsh and English industrial wealth. It is now set to become the first UK town to be decommissioned due to sea level rise. It will be demolished and returned to salt marsh and will have existed for less than 200 years. In the intertidal zone, between land and sea, three people move, with arresting visual imagery through these three remarkable sites.

This "Dance Happening" by Klein captured the gang of dancers walking through the town of Ginza, improvising and dancing. "Dance Happening" is the only photographic piece that captured these three legendary Butoh dancers together. As well as featuring Butoh and dance itself, “THREE” is also an attempt to archive Butoh, incorporating video, exhibition, performance and VR technology. Takao Kawaguchi, Dai Matsuoka, and Mikiko Kawamura each accurately copies the choreography of the three Butoh legends; Kazuo Ohno, Tatsumi Hijikata, and Yoshito Ohno. The video was initially created for the TOKYO REAL UNDERGROUND in 2021 and later re-edited as a dance film with additional scenes. The choreography of "Tango, Bird" (1971) by Kazuo Ohno is part of the performance piece "About Kazuo Ohno" (2013) by Takao Kawaguchi, which is known for breaking the taboo of the Butoh world by copying Ohno's choreography from the video recordings of his dance performances. Dai Matsuoka, who Yoshito Ohno taught in person, aims to hand down Yoshito's dance to the next generation. To be more precise, Tatsumi Hijikata choreographed Yoshito Ohno, and Yoshito Ohno handed down the choreography to him. Mikiko Kawamura has also perfectly copied the choreography from "Hosotan" (1972). Each copy is not a plain imitation but reproduces the choreography through detailed analytics.

It is a love story that moves against the grain of classic Filipino folk dance. From the height of accalimed Bayanihan Dance Company to the prestigious works of Ramon Obusan Folkloric Group, courtship dances have traditionally centered around patriarchal and heteronormative portrayls of love. These depictions of courtship often leave out critical narratives of fluidity within our communities. As the Pilipinx diaspora moves to embrace LGBTQ+ identities and perspectives against colonial rigidity, there comes a growing need for queer narratives to be celebrated across traditional artistic outlets. Dahil Sa Isang Bulaklak aims to deconstruct our traditional values and make space for LGBTQ+ representation in Philippine dance.

The way we think, the way we look, even what we can fantasize about is framed by these structures within which society takes shape. Choreographer Annemijn Rijk is fascinated by how the body relates to these social, often hidden or socially accepted frameworks. As well as by how the body can challenge them. For the third theme of her Body of Art project, the theme “Beauty”, she investigated how the body today, within these systems, relates to beauty. She found that for her, beauty equals transparency. Transparency in showing the body honestly, in the expression of her dancers, as well as transparency in exposing hidden, social systems. Woman's Work shows six women of different generations and backgrounds. Inspired by the idea of a catwalk as a clamping metaphor for the ideal female image, the women walk over a narrow, steel beam at a great height. The film shows their individual portraits, their own journey within the for them dominant system and their joint resistance. While dancing, they balance mutual relationships, pressure, expectations and manipulation. The fall is inevitable. As is the drive to constantly search for how their flexible bodies can resist the static, steel beam.

It was created remotely during lockdown, January-May 2021, and recorded with smartphones. The repetitive routines we clung to during lockdown are juxtaposed with memories of a significant change in our lives where we felt in control. We seek to find meaning in an ever-emerging illogical world and take the audience on a journey through multiple layers and abstractions of reality. The way in which we made Floating Departures is as much a statement of life during lockdown as the art we created. We used a broad range of technologies to transform our everyday spaces–from everyday objects (e.g., balloons and bubble wrap) to AI art systems. Our bricolage approach to art making, while necessitated by lockdown restrictions, also led to new creative potentials. We bring together dance movement, poetry, painterly styles, and sound to create a new place, unbound by reason or logic. In this new realm we explore not only our personal experiences during lockdown, but also the experiences of a larger collective body that emerged in the space between one another. This new realm was only made possible through our evolving process and technologically-mediated interactions. Although we created this work while in separate spaces, these artistic elements were developed iteratively, in close relation to one another. Through this work we demonstrate how technologically-mediated dance collaboration can provide a new lens for understanding our body and movement beyond physical barriers.

The idea for this film was born during a visit to the botanical garden in Rio de Janeiro. There was a woman, alone, sitting on a bench, who kept getting up, going around the bench as if she was looking for something, and then sitting down again. She did this without interruption, in cyclical iterations, sometimes punctuated by long pauses, during which she turned her head, right and left, seeming to talk to people sitting next to her. But there was no one there. Her movements, a mixture of nervous gestures followed by almost perfect stasis, were reminiscent of the very particular gestures of the actress Gena Rowlands in the film "A Woman Under the Influence" by John Cassavetes. This inspired the choreography and movement direction of the dancers in this film. Parks and gardens are the immobile witnesses of our lives, of our desires, of our thoughts. Flowers look at us, listen to us, accompany us, like calm and discreet spectators of our inner adventures Didier MULLERAS - Directordirector & Choreographer team DFC studios L'Espace 13 France - Dancers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605a7fd1139cb50b7b46dcde/0feaa712-84ef-4a44-a7c0-e816f17a6791/Photo+7+Doll...a_mini_Epic_16.jpg FFXRD: DREAMstate (October 2022) - un·fixed still life of Dolly S.

The Keller Fountain opened in 1970, only days after protests just a few blocks away resulted in the hospitalizations of 34 people. The new park immediately became a celebration of the Portland community and the power of public space. As the COVID-19 global pandemic and protests for racial justice roil Portland today, Body Is Home honors the present moment in a setting that remains unique and powerful after 50 crucial years of Portland history. Lawrence Halprin said it best when he noted, “Please try to remember we’re all in this together.” His vision began with open spaces that would be for everyone.

We believe that art is essential to open new spaces of thought, experimentation, imagination and has a key role to play in this sense.

The dance is completely improvised within set scenes and choregraphed within edit. By September 2020, restrictions on dancing inside meant we literally went outside to ‘play’. The long period spent in lockdown created an exaggerated sense of freedom, which pulsed through the workshops weaving a kind of magic. Creating momentarily a world where colour, texture, smell, sound, and emotions all became intensified by the experience of dancing together outside. We came to play, to share but mostly to enjoy!

Who gets to be on public view, whose image do we think of when we think about who values, whose life matters? In each performer, we find a corporeal landscape where the smallest gestures become monumental, thus we could say that such gestures become elevated and begin to "speak" in ways not necessarily noticed in our everyday life. We begin to see the intimacy in that which is ordinary or quotidian. We see the humanity of the individual in epic scale, speaking back to other monuments that often diminish those in whose communities they are located.

"A Dream . . ." was shot in September 2020 at the height of the COVID pandemic when vaccinations seemed distant and performing arts groups were desperately trying to figure out how to get back to work. Carl Flink, artistic director of the Minneapolis based dance company Black Label Movement, approached Dr. Jon Hallberg from the University of Minnesota Medical School and asked if an affordable COVID "bubble," ala the extremely expensive "bubbles" the professional sports leagues were implementing, could be designed to allow for responsible physical contact and removing PPE to create, perform and present new work. Hallberg said he thought there was and designed an affordable "bubble" that allowed Black Label to produce this film without anyone involved contracting the COVID virus. Flink makes his debut as a filmmaker and director with this film and his other 2021 short film "cage(d)."

Individuals often recur to the use of imagination in order to appease their fears during solitude or despair; this dance video portrays the personal refuge of the performer. A confusion is created in the artist who staggers in between the sea side and her flat, while constantly feeling that she is crazy and living a nightmare. Beyond the fact that this initiative was triggered during the pandemic and social isolation, it is nonetheless clear that the revealed anxiety is the result of a long wait and impossibility to project one’s self into the future. The liberty obtained in our imagination is strongly linked to our five senses, consequently what the artist chose to explore during her improvisation.

Or is the puppet manipulating him? Yoshito's gaze toward his puppet father's back is sometimes rigid, hateful, but also kind, admiring, and full of respect.

The work was originally inspired by research about women, dance, and aging, and has evolved into an investigation of metamorphosis and change. Using the visceral poetry of Ada Limón and Natalie Diaz as part of the sound score, the work delves into questions about how the body’s presence expands and contracts over time.

Any cultural experience is based on images and symbols from the past. In the modern world, they are transformed, but they continue to surround us and broadcast something. It is interesting to explore your connection to them, because the world of ideas affects the material world, and vice versa. In the film you will meet 3 types of creatures influencing each other - people, an ancient goddess/or the Sun/ and underworld spirits. You will also see birds-souls, a beast/or a guard/ or a threat. You can move between the worlds following the people and watch their choreography of modern Irish dance with elements of Russian folk dance, hand movements based on Slavic embroidery and body percussion.

A giant waterfall creates a challenge and serves as a metaphor for the truth. Arising offers an opportunity to move from the lower to the higher self through a confrontation with the truth. Esoterically water represents the “Truth” symbolically representing the individual’s challenge to personal, and environmental challenges while dealing with the group dynamics of their community. No one can do it alone and yet one person always is first. Nine dancers dance, dive, and fly through a waterfall, helping each other and transforming from un-individuated creatures to triumphant flying angels. Here we first meet the Silver Woman who in each film in the ARISING Trilogy is the harbinger and catalyst of change, engendering and supporting the notion that women play leading roles in creating the future success of the species and our planet. Community building, the power of the Feminine Principle and a powerful wish to Grow characterize these intrepid figures. Filmed by 3 High Speed 2K and 4K Phantom Cameras.

The isolating nature of the pandemic impacted everything - from rehearsal to recording - so Judd and yMusic quickly pivoted and turned these limitations into the structure and inspiration for “Together.” A live performance was out of the question so they reached out to me to create a visual poem as an accompaniment. Listening to Judd’s composition, I experimented with a variety of images to see which best supported the music. As I worked, I realized that the human form and gesture provided the feeling and intent I wanted to express so I invited my friend, choreographer, Sue Schroeder, to collaborate. My vision was to film 4-5 dancers in their homes and outdoors as they explored the idea of what togetherness/separateness has meant to them during this past year. Sue and I worked on movement concepts and ideas - considering at times incredibly calm energies like living portraits and at other times more dynamic action. As we filmed, we shifted from very personal solos to group movement. Through this process - and without touch - the dancers emphasized the distances between themselves and others (both near and far) eventually finding togetherness. - Adam Larsen Sue Schroeder - Choreographic Direction Adam Larsen - Film Direction, Cinematography, and Editing Judd Greenstein - Musical Composition Dancers - Walter Apps, Juana Farfan, Laith Stevenson, Lori Teague, Shawny Humlao Evens, Nadya Zeitlin & Dana Lupton https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605a7fd1139cb50b7b46dcde/70d9a63b-e501-42df-a870-ce4dcfaca7dc/Photo+3+still_6.jpg FFXRD: FEELz (March 2023) - The Spring of Nijinsky film by Martyna Maja Sikonczyk (c) 2023 UK, POLAND The famous ballet dancer Vaslav Nijinsky struggles with rehearsing his newest choreography - the revolutionary Rite of Spring.

Its speech, disseminated in a punctuated and lively gestural, is presented as the modern harbinger of the ultimate destiny of mankind. Tërra Bëstia is a hybrid video composition exploring the nexus of queer identity and the Christian eschatological narrative. Tërra Bëstia recreate an emblematic creature of Christian mythology, used to destroy and demonise queer identities, from the perspective of a contemporary messenger, relevant to the current cosmic cycle of humanity.

As our dancer moves to the rhythms she hears and senses around her, the sculptural dynamics of her movements become more birdlike, as if her body has been taken over by an invisible force.

To hope is to give yourself to the future - and that commitment to the future is what makes the present inhabitable.” – Rebecca Solnit Holly Wilder - Director & Choreographer https://www.roguedancer.org/ffxrd-texture-june-2023-1 daily 0.75 2023-07-25 https://www.roguedancer.org/ffxrd-youtopia-july-2023 daily 0.75 2023-07-25 https://www.roguedancer.org/ffxrd-everyday-heroes-september-2023 daily 0.75 2023-10-17 https://www.roguedancer.org/ffxrd-the-future-october-2023 daily 0.75 2023-10-17 https://www.roguedancer.org/ffxrd-performance-art-november-2023 daily 0.75 2023-11-16 https://www.roguedancer.org/ffxrd-whims-ie-january-2024 daily 0.75 2024-01-12 https://www.roguedancer.org/ffxrd-loneliness-february-2024 daily 0.75 2024-02-21 https://www.roguedancer.org/filmfest-by-rogue-dancer daily 0.75 2024-09-29 https://www.roguedancer.org/ffxrd-play-march-2024 daily 0.75 2024-03-20 https://www.roguedancer.org/ffxrd-re-sister-april-2024 daily 0.75 2024-04-18 https://www.roguedancer.org/ffxrd-dance-class-24-may-2024 daily 0.75 2024-05-21 https://www.roguedancer.org/ffxrd-muted-chrome-july-2024 daily 0.75 2024-09-29 https://www.roguedancer.org/ffxrd-demon-dance-oct-2024 daily 0.75 2024-09-29 https://www.roguedancer.org/rogue-dancer-merch daily 0.75 2022-05-01 https://www.roguedancer.org/rogue-dancer-merch/p/style-03-l4asj monthly 0.5 2020-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1603995400336-KDBQV5GIMQCNOVKCTZ3K/acc_3-Detail.jpg Rogue Dancer Merch - Style 03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1603995359073-31Z0GDCLJ9HW8CJIJLD2/acc_3-A.jpg Rogue Dancer Merch - Style 03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1603995357849-8NGCXUQEF2KRCGG9J56P/acc_3-B.jpg Rogue Dancer Merch - Style 03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1603995360517-9PHQ1KFWS91Y3S83MJEC/acc_3-C.jpg Rogue Dancer Merch - Style 03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1603995360097-A4WEH9E0B9FRKVHB6PYI/acc_3-D.jpg Rogue Dancer Merch - Style 03 https://www.roguedancer.org/rogue-dancer-merch/p/style-02-7zwxp monthly 0.5 2020-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1603995083204-2LAEQFW6874J4KQ58WBY/acc_2-Detail.jpg Rogue Dancer Merch - Style 02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1603995042373-X10MKTHGRTTQUU16GRPH/acc_2-C.jpg Rogue Dancer Merch - Style 02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1603995045296-RKR6P83LUUA252MKNU3E/acc_2-D.jpg Rogue Dancer Merch - Style 02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1603995039958-8KD1M5X33D8RJZ4W9I9B/acc_2-A.jpg Rogue Dancer Merch - Style 02 https://www.roguedancer.org/rogue-dancer-merch/p/style-01-gc9jg monthly 0.5 2020-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1603994731437-KTTMR9VGPR43KG9VKXXR/acc_1-Detail.jpg Rogue Dancer Merch - Style 01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1603994623637-UY05A2GJLOOKS5WCS085/acc_1-A.jpg Rogue Dancer Merch - Style 01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1603994627796-MVXNCUBQA4XMR0VWFC60/acc_1-D.jpg Rogue Dancer Merch - Style 01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1603994625115-UUXB884VQ99DTRCZVU6S/acc_1-B.jpg Rogue Dancer Merch - Style 01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1603994625585-DA4MXHFC1S0B2GBIVYW8/acc_1-C.jpg Rogue Dancer Merch - Style 01
