Sans Souci Festival of Dance Cinema is one of Boulder’s longstanding favorite arts organizations, and we’re so happy to return to one of our most beloved venues, the Boedecker Cinema at Dairy Arts Center for two separate programs during late summer and early fall — Dancing on the Planet and Dancing as Ourselves.
Dancing on the Planet is a curated dance film screening featuring shorts from the U.K., Belgium, Italy, Netherlands, and China, and it will remind you just how small you are, and how big this world can be. This collection of site-specific dance films 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 contemporary dance forms, this screening illustrates that the range of humanity’s expression is as vast as the range of environments on the planet.
Dancing as Ourselves features shorts from the U.K., the U.S., France, Greece, Australia, Nigeria, and China will remind you how similar we all are as humans across the globe, yet how different we can be. This collection explores the various aspects of personhood as reflected by the body and movement. Through a multitude of contemporary dance forms, this screening illustrates that the range of humanity’s expression is as vast as the range of bodies we inhabit.
