BLOCK
Direction: Maya Bitan | Choreography: Orly Portal
(25:11 | Israel, 2026)
Israeli choreographer, Orly Portal broke into the dance scene with a unique movement language influenced by Moroccan culture. Now, at the peak of her success, her new creation brings her back to the remote northern town where she grew up, and from which she once fled.
LOVE SONG FOR A WAILING EARTH
Direction: Scott Lawrence Kirschenbaum
(9:52 | USA, 2026)
Set against the haunting beauty of Appalachia, "Love Song for a Wailing Earth" is a short dance film that intimately follows one woman who returns home after Hurricane Helene to confront what was lost—and what remains. Through an unvarnished, vulnerable performance, Conway Weary channels the collective grief of climate trauma, offering a raw and poetic meditation on the experience of displacement and the reality of ecological loss.
EVERY MAP HAS A SCALE
Direction: Joan Clevillé | Choreography: Joan Clevillé in collaboration with performers
( 52:18 | Scotland, 2024)
Every Map has a Scale is an ongoing performance-research project aiming to connect Scottish Dance Theatre more deeply with communities in its home-town of Dundee and across Scotland, creating opportunities for dialogue and exchange, and making the company’s artistic practice more inclusive and responsive.
This documentary film follows 'Chapter 3' of this project, which took place in summer 2023. Scottish Dance Theatre swapped the stage for the streets, fields and public buildings of Dundee and Angus. Travelling by foot, bike or public transport, the dancers surprised thousands of passers-by and visitors in streets, parks, libraries, shopping centres, and museums, celebrating our everyday life and the people we share it with.
