A future where color and creativity is banned. Everyone is expected to follow the patriarchal norms of wearing all black and not expressing one's self. To resist the temptation to use their creativity, people have covered their ears, eyes, and mouths. They do this to prevent any creative expression of themselves. But what happens when one person breaks the mold?

In contact with the garment. In contact with the wind. The body in contact with another body? To dress a body. The wind catalyzing the movement where the body reacts to the garment. Body - garment. Body - wind. Body - body. The static results in movement. Between stability and the action of bodies, the movement is modified. Sometimes simultaneously. The skin's color and texture is present in the steadiness, in the garment and in the space.

Hope is Just a Memory of the Future, 2021, United States, 5 min
Produced and Directed by Andrea Bracamonte
Choreography and Dancing by Andrea Bracamonte
Cinematography by Jake Lane
Written by Andrea Bracamonte
I heard once that hope is just a memory of the future. What a beautiful perspective on something that offers so much light throughout life. To challenge the normal flow of time and acknowledge that we somehow have already experienced the future shows us that the present moment will soon give way to what we hoped for. Our choice to follow a path that leads us to our biggest dreams is just retracing our steps. Memories of the future. How magnificent.

Directed by Jamie Kalama Wood
Produced by Scott Cook, Jamie Kalama Wood
Featuring BYU Living Legends
Jingle Choreography by Tyra Tsosie, Mari Tsosie
Fancy Choreography by Naakaii Tsosie, Patrick Willie, Naataanii Tsosie
Female Jingle Dancers and Male Fancy Dancers offer a combined piece in honor and recognition of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (specifically amongst Native American and Alaskan Native women). "Ozhigaabawi" means "One Stands Ready." As a group of indigenous dancers, we feel it is important that we not only represent the beauty of our communities, but also the realities of our people. It was important to me to create a work that empowers both our female and male dancers to show that they stand ready to make a change for the better. Traditionally, Jingle is a dance of healing and strength. Men's Fancy is a dance of agility and strength. Our hope is that by putting them together, we offer strength and healing to those who have been harmed by sexual and physical violence--not just the individuals but also the families and communities at large.

Starting with a startle, a series of emotions are triggered that lead the interpreters to ask questions and seek answers to solve the crisis they experience. The work confronts us with the enigmatic nature of our subjectivities and with the forms through which we have organized our relationship with the world. "Startle" occurs between polarities, at the midpoint between them, and at the same time in the spectrum of possibilities between one thing and the other. Startle, is a collaboration of Danza Universitaria, IIARTE and the University of Guayaquil and is part of the Latin American Art Research Network.

Sound Design by Théo Arramon
A young man, oppressed by the density of the city, decides to flee. He finds himself in a clear, calm space. He starts dancing, more and more intensely. Little by little, the sea will join the dance, sonically, accompanying his movements. After a crescendo ascent, close to trance, we will find him far away from urban buildings, in a clear, liberated aquatic setting.
