Shared Terrain: An Evening of Elevated Dance Cinema at the 2026 Aerial Dance Festival
in collaboration with Frequent Flyers Productions®, as part of the 2026 Aerial Dance Festival

In our first ever screening partnership with Frequent Flyers Productions®, we are excited to share a selection of three short films that intersect circus, dance and the environment. Following the performance will be a brief talkback/Q&A with Isaac Endo, who was involved in the making of all three films. This is one of the main events of the Aerial Dance Festival, which also features the course "Screendance for Dancers and Aerial Dancers" August 3-7, 2026. Check out all this unique festival has to offer!

"Traverse" weaves the stories of five women into a tapestry of collective experience as they journey, confronting obstacles along the way. Through this process of reflection in motion, a powerful sense of strength is ignited.
