Resurgence is a selection of dance films that push the boundaries of hegemonic ideologies and sociocultural norms. This program includes films that utilize dance as a medium through which we can challenge preconceived notions of genre and gender identities and wrestle with harrowing experiences such as domestic abuse. Together, these diverse forms of dance storytelling are a rumination on how we can reclaim hope in the midst of pain and uncertainties.
(~28 min TRT)
This intimate videoportrait of Irina Jabsa and Guadalupe Santiago showcases the art of contactango, a fusión of contact improvisation and tango. Bringing the principles of contact improvisation into dialogue with tango not only increases tango’s creative range in terms of body shapes, embrace, and vocabulary, but it interrupts tango’s gendered lead/follow binary. The roles of leader and follower are exchanged so frequently and fluidly that the border between the two roles starts to dissolve.
