Screendance Festival at The Place, Friday 13 September 2024
Frame Rush is an annual festival of screendance films programmed by the MA Screendance students from London Contemporary Dance School. The sixth edition centres around what it means to be present in today’s society and is an event not to be missed. A graduate and international programme offer something for all, whether you are a film nerd, someone who loves rhythm, or are seeking creative inspiration from different perspectives.
The Graduate Screening invites audience members to celebrate seven works from the 2023 MA Screendance cohort and former Frame Rush organisers. This programme highlights the supportive learning community and diverse range of subject matter screendance affords, from surrealist ears to Bauhaus inspired bird watching.
The International Screening offers ten works expressing kinaesthetic empathy and questions on belonging. In this series, sisterhood is expressed within the intersection of fashion, film and dance; body percussionists move as nomadic storytellers through urban corridors, neighbourhoods, and green spaces in Montreal; and the subconscious is brought to life as green and blood lizards perform Palestinian folk songs in a Jazz bar.
A 30-minute artist Q&A will follow both screenings, providing audiences with the chance to gain unique insight into the artists’ creative processes.
Films with dialogue include subtitles.
