Room 204, Movement Research Studio
North Campus
Join us for the first Friday Dance Film Screening Series, as we explore the meeting point between movement, cinema, and storytelling through a selection of dance films from around the world and across different time periods.
The screening will be followed by an online conversation with Kelly Hargraves, who will join us virtually to offer reflections on the films, their creative processes, and the ways dance can be experienced through the moving image.
The evening will conclude with an open Q&A session, inviting the audience to share their thoughts, questions, and responses to the films and the conversations.
Come watch, reflect, and engage in a shared exploration of dance on screen.
