The SLC Film Center Presents Movement (R)Evolution Africa, an astonishing film in which nine African choreographers from Senegal to South Africa tell the stories of an emergent art form and their diverse and deeply contemporary expressions of self. Revering the body as a form of fluid sculpture, these fierce artists from across the continent adapt conventional dance to their unique sense of self. Movement is their voice and it screams in this film! With performances by RDT and the Janet Gray Dance Studio the movement transcends the silver screen to be a live part of the evenings program. Stunning choreography and riveting critiques challenge stale stereotypes of 'traditional Africa' to unveil soul-shaking responses to the beauty and tragedy of 21st century Africa. Two dance groups will perform in conjunction with the screening. The film is intended to expand and invigorate contemporary dance by illuminating critical innovations of African artists.
