Viewfinder: Global Perspectives

Art is not created in a vacuum. Screendance is practiced globally and while there is a strong worldwide network, each practitioner and the work they create is influenced by their unique contexts; from their dance training and background to the social and political environments the work is created in. In this episode, we examine different modes and values systems of screendance around the world. We discuss the intentions behind the work and discuss curatorial responsibility in appropriately contextualizing work that is presented to audiences unfamiliar with it. -- Films The Color of Reality - Movement Art Is Directed by Jon Boogz The Derivé Directed by Tanin Torabi Supermambo (MX)- 2002 Directed by Benito Gonzalez Haedo en Llamas (Argentina)-2005 Directed by Ladys Gonzalez and Francisco De la Cerda -- Festival Announcements Screening Choreoscope - International dance Film Festival Barcelona Online Sept 14th - 27th Submission Deadline Dance Camera West Los Angeles, CA Oct. 1st -- Website Instagram
