The screening will be followed by a Q&A, and a Dance Community Conversation focused on dance filmmaking. The fourth in a series of Dance Community Conversations around and about our regional contemporary dance community, this conversation will be centered around the growing phenomenon of dance filmmaking. Organized by Motion State Arts, past Dance Community Conversations have focused on teaching, dance-making, and audiences in the digital age.
