Dance on Film 2017
Nov. 1–9, 2017
Our annual celebration hoofs, waltzes, pirouettes, and runs the gamut from the story of Rudolf Nureyev’s dramatic defection from the Soviet Union to the revolution in modern dance fomented by the late Trisha Brown—with ballroom, tap, and contemporary dance along the way. We also continue our tradition of an evening dedicated to short films, curated by choreographer Peter Pucci.
