Moderated Screening

March 23, 2015 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm

$10

Moderated Screenings are a service provided for artists to get feedback in a constructive setting. It brings dance filmmakers together to present raw footage, drafts, works-in-progress and newly finished films to their peers for artist-centered, constructive feedback. These sessions are informal showings centered on discussion about the footage being shown, primarily for the artists to get reactions, constructive criticism, and process-related feedback on these works.

Email brighid@dancefilms.org with questions about submitting your footage.

Moderated by Yara Travieso

 Yara Travieso is a filmmaker, choreographer, and performer creating live productions, films, and installations. Through the collision of storytelling mediums such as cinema, dance, and theater, the work creates an arena in which human conflict and visual spectacle are heightened. A juxtaposition of myths, reality, and satire, the work provokes female archetypes and their emotional complexities.

Travieso is a 2014-15 National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures Grantee through the Ford Foundation and the Surdna Foundation, and a Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Artist in Residence. Travieso has premiered original works in NYC’s Lincoln Center, BRIC Arts Media House, STREB Lab For Action Mechanics, Tribeca Performing Arts Center, Madison Square Garden, The Juilliard School, The Yard Arts, and Miami’s New World Symphony Center. Her video pieces were commissioned by Hermes of Paris, Glamour Magazine, and exhibited in NYC’s Streaming Museum, Reverse Art Space, New Museum, Hyphen Hub, Flomenhaft Gallery, Miami’s Dorsch Gallery, Locust Projects, and Miami Science Museum amongst others. Travieso is the recipient of an individual artist sponsorship from Kodak Films Latin America from 2009-2012. Born in Miami Florida, Travieso has been based in NY/Brooklyn for the past ten years where she graduated from The Juilliard School with a BFA in Dance. While in Miami, she co-founded The Borscht Film Festival in 2003 as a way to encourage other artists from various fields to collaborate in a kind of cinematic “gesamtkunstwerk” about the city. Her full length works have been supported by The Beyond The Machine Festival, Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce, The San Francisco Foundation for The Arts, and Miami Dade Cultural Affairs. Travieso has Associate Directed and choreographed works for Cincinnati Opera, Birmingham Opera, and Texas State Orchestra. She has led interdisciplinary lectures and master classes at MoMa, The Juilliard School, Fordham University, and The YoungArts Organization.
