What is Screendance Club?
Different from a typical talk-back, Screendance Club is a radically casual watch-party and discussion of short dance films. Screendance Club's aim is to create an environment of open conversation and exploration with artists, filmmakers, and viewers on an equal footing. We want to talk about dance films in a way that demystifies, enlightens, and educates audiences. The focus is less “artist’s talk” model, where the artist talks about the why / how / what of their intent and more on a conversation with an audience of peers.
