An afternoon of of dance screenings and a talkback with the directors and artists!
Weekend One begins with films that explore how creating films about dance + telling our own stories add to the cultural record, explore dance in a new medium, and innovate a legacy of liberation. We will be joined by Delina Patrice Brooks of Delina Dream Productions who created a four part African dance documentary, "Bare Soles Bare Soul", in partnership with Clenched Fist Productions and OLU8 Films.
We will also view three short films by contemporary Indian dance company, Ishami Dance Company: "Ancestor Song", "Because You're a Woman", and "Teele Dharo". Ishami Dance Co-founder Ishika Seth, will join our question and answer session for the films as well.
Finally, World Arts West will share a short compilation of archival global dance and music footage highlighting recently digitized as part of our Multicultural Archiving Project (MAP).
