In celebration of our fifteenth anniversary season we announce the Winter/Spring Film Festival 2014, a series of dances on video, culminating in a weekend of performances at the BAM Fisher in Brooklyn.  Looking both backward and forward, we will host fifteen events: dance films from the repertory, special video projects, five new dance films made in Brazil, and the premiere of an evening-length dance, May 30-June 1, 2014.

Kicking off the celebration is the world premiere of Encounter!  Shot on location in New York’s Grand Central Terminal, Encounter, a new dance film is a meditative and humorous portrait of love, released in time for Valentine’s Day! Full schedule is posted HERE on our Anniversary Page.
