Dancing on the Planet is a curated dance film screening featuring shorts that remind you just how small you are, and how big this world can be. This collection of art shorts repositions the viewer in relationship to the Earth and connects our bodies to the places we call home, near and far. Through a multitude of approaches including site-specific screendance, experimental, and documentary, this screening illustrates that the range of humanity’s expression is as vast as the range of environments on the planet.

This collection explores the various aspects of being human as reflected by the body and movement. Through a multitude of film styles including narrative, experimental, animation, and screendance, this program illustrates that the range of humanity’s expression is as vast as the range of bodies we inhabit.
