Hell You Talmbout (Denzel Boyd, Tyler Rabinowitz, Joseph Webb)
In the wake of the killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, the directors came across a Facebook Live video of the students of Northwest Tap dancing in the streets in protest. This was the result.
Sub Rosa (Matteo Marziano Graziano) A short movie about secrecy, vulnerability and roses. Starring Venus, Eros, and Harpocrates, the god of silence.
In the Wild excerpt (Rita Nga-shu HUI)
We can’t help but dance. We have to tread on the edge. Be wild. Move our bodies.
Push against the absurdity of everyday.
Elephant (Connie Chavez) A choreofilm against street harassment that was created as a call to action for victims, predominantly women, to stand against their harassers.
Brother’s Keeper (Marta Renzi) A moody space of dark and light where 3 young men explore their social, physical and animal natures.
Intrinsic Moral Evil (Harm Weistra) is a tale of identity and coming of age that invites the audience to reflect and form its own interpretation, as the three dancers play with viewers’ expectations and perceptions.
