"Dancing Queens" is a moving tribute to the LGBTQ+ community, featuring six spirited short dance films, a performance from local company Ballet22, and a post-screening reception. The program, presented as part of SF Dance Film Festival (SFDFF) 2021, occurs at the Brava Theater on Saturday October 23 at 7:30pm. Tickets, on sale now, are $25.
The six featured films, including four from Bay Area artists, recognize the challenges of existing beyond the binary but ultimately embrace difference as a force of pride. Highlights include "Carmen," a solo en pointe excerpted from a filmed performance by Oakland-based gender-defying company Ballet22, and "Black Magic," an emphatic exploration of trans women's contributions to the vogue fem lexicon by local artist Rashaad Newsome. Filmmaker introductions, a performance of a Le Corsaire pas de deux by Ballet22's Roberto Vega Ortiz and Evan Ambrose, and a post-screening reception amplify the program's celebration of the queer community.
This in-theater event is part of SFDFF 2021's hybrid festival, which also features an extensive selection of films streaming online on Marquee TV from October 15-24. With 125 dance films from 25 countries, ranging from insightful documentaries to artful shorts, there's something for everyone in this lineup.
