Work-in-Progress Screening: ‘Make Me Dance’

April 8, 2016 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

FREE
  Still from 'Make Me Dance' - Tatyana Bronstein   Centered on process and discussion, this Work-In-Progress screening will feature an excerpt from Make Me Dance by Tatyana Bronstein, a documentary feature length film. The discussion will be moderated by Brighid Greene, Programs Director at Dance Films Association. FREE, with suggested donation. RSVP requested.   About Make Me Dance The documentary, Make Me Dance, takes an in depth look inside one of the most prestigious Music, Theater, and Dance schools in the US, The Boston Conservatory (BoCo).  It features a diverse group of young dancers and a world-renowned New York based choreographer, Darrell Moultrie, who works hard to break the stereotypes of body type, i.e., the “ballet look”, to redefine what it means to be a “Dancer”, and to have these new views be accepted into the ballet and modern dance world.  Darrell brings all his energy, his convictions, and his drive for perfection to a small group of students as he pushes them to their limits in preparation of his new piece, “Winds of Now”. Directed by Tatyana Bronstein and co-produced by Associate Editor Victoria Wojick. https://www.facebook.com/MakeMeDanceDocumentary/
