The Art of Movement: Dance, Music and Poetry is a shorts program; multiple films are a part of this screening. The collective film program runs 107 minutes.

When David reveals details of his past life as a ballet dancer to his son, questions immediately emerge: Why had his father never told him about being a dancer? Why had he waited until he was 70 years old, and after rejecting Jamie’s coming out as a teenager, to tell his son about about his own sexual fluidity? With words of encouragement from legendary ballet dancer Evelyn Hart, who dances a cameo in the film, David decides he wants to start dancing again, and he wants his story told.


This film is included in two shorts programs in the ReFrame Virtual Theatre: "The Art of Movement: Dance, Music and Poetry" and "Queer Relations."
