They include: a poetic work based on the biography of an African choreographer living in the US, who returns to dance her story in Zimbabwe; a lively play on movement and architecture created by Argentinian dancers suspended in a narrow passageway; a collaboration with US veterans transforming their experiences in Iraq through imagery and re-enactmant; and a work that combines the aesthetic of video surveillance in post-Soviet Russia with the filmed movements of a contemporary Russian dancer.In the last year, these first DANCE MOViES Commissions have traveled far and wide to international festivals around the world. As a group they were shown in the Dance for Camera Festival in Brighton, UK; Festival Internacional de Video-Danza de Buenos Aires, Argentina; Dance Camera West in Los Angeles; and the Dance on Camera Festival produced by Dance Films Association and co-sponored by the Film Society of Lincoln Center in New York City, garnering awards and critical attention.
