BFA Visual & Critical Studies Department Presents:
SOSW BALLET is an experimental film that revolves around the creation of discourse through movement. Created by Anna Gaskell, the short film is choreographed and performed by the children of the Special School of Podgorki (SOSW) in Poland, a 40-year-old academy and boarding school for children ages eight to 18, some with mild to severe learning disorders. In SOSW BALLET, dance becomes a means of challenging barriers to communication. A conversation with director Anna Gaskell and choreographer Jessica Sand moderated by faculty member Micaela Martegani follows the screening. Presented by the School of Visual Arts BFA Visual & Critical Studies Department.
The BFA Visual & Critical Studies Department at SVA is a multidisciplinary studio program designed to engage and challenge ambitious students in areas beyond a single medium of expression and creation. This dynamic course of study reflects our rapidly expanding visual culture and the increasing urgency to educate students about all aspects of visual experience. Visual & Critical Studies allows students an extraordinary opportunity to shape their own multi-dimensional art education through a guided combination of studio courses and academic offerings focusing on myriad forms and venues of contemporary visual life.
