Following the success of our first Screendance competition last year, we're coming back strong and teaming up with Birmingham International Dance Festival to present two installments. This first programme, curated by Sima Gonsai, looks at the Screendance genre as a unique language, and brings you showstopping works that couldn't be seen on a stage. Full of colours, energy and ideas, these dance films will get you moving in your living room!
This is the international version of our Screendance competition. The original programme also contains Hors, by Amélie Gagnon & Julia-Maude Cloutier, that is unfortunately not available to watch outside of the UK.
All of the films are eligible for the Screendance Award, given out by our jury. The winner will we revealed at the Flatpack Awards on 30 May (free event, booking essential).
Total running time: 45 mins
The second Screendance competition programme will be available online for 48 hours from Monday 7 June, 12pm, as part of Birmingham International Dance Festival.
Delivered in partnership with Birmingham International Dance Festival (BIDF 2021), produced by DanceXchange.
Set in the spectacular Burren region of the west coast of Ireland, Navigation explores the current humanitarian crisis of displacement and dislocation that is experienced both individually and collectively. Using the land itself to explore how we navigate through unknown terrain, themes of survival and perseverance, departure and renewal emerge in a nuanced and layered interpretation of the migration experience. The rhythms, movement, vocals and landscape define and embody this exploration, featuring the performances of 10 dancers, singers and a choir of 40 participants
