Hedwig Dances and the Chicago Cultural Center host Dance for the Camera 2008:
“The ENERGY of Dance with the MAGIC of Film”
October 28 & October 30, FREE Admission
Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington
The Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Hedwig Dances in cooperation with the
Dance Films Association present "Dance for the Camera", a special two-evening program
showcasing innovative examples of dance films created by artists in the Midwest and
around the world. The programmatic themes for Dance the Camera 2008 are Landscapes
and Interiors. The program focuses on how physical setting forms a background and
provides an interactive platform for the human activity in dance film. Landscapes
generally are more expansive settings for actions while interiors create limited
boundaries and focus the viewers attention inward. The two programs offer a cross-
section of contrasting approaches to these themes. Event curators - Jan Bartoszek and
Sarah Best.
