Screening of Dance Film "Dantza": One Story of How Dance Has Ushered Humanity from the Raw Earth...
Company:
The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts
Dantza is a dance film like no other: it is “a stunning achievement in dance, color, and photography,” Film Threat wrote. This screening will be the first public screening of it in the US since its 2018 release. Using the language of Basque dance, as wielded by the imagination of a folklorist-choreographer, a sculptor of spectacular visions, and a master screenwriter-director of cinema, Dantza tells a story of how culture evolved from prehistoric tribes to the celebrants of a contemporary wedding.
Following the screening, the award-winning poet Elizabeth Macklin, and the New York-based choreographer of dance, theater, and opera Christopher Caines will join Mindy Aloff in a discussion sparked by the passage on Dantza in Aloff’s new book, Why Dance Matters.
A book signing with Mindy Aloff will take place after the event in the lobby.
