5:00PM: FILM SCREENING
/ SHORTS II /
STATIC
Direction and Choreography: Levi Coy
(7:26 | DMV Artist, USA, 2025)
A visual journey through memory’s grip. looping gestures, dissolving images, and a body caught between past and present. This film explores how memory shapes and traps us, inviting viewers to experience the beauty and tension of returning again and again to what we cannot let go.
MIMESIS
Direction and Choreography: Eon Allum
(1:16 | USA, 2026)
I peel bloody petals from my skin, sticky from rebirth.
They flutter down into the dark abyss.
Will you adorn me with your desires?
Drink from my veins your beautiful lies until you’re drunk on artificiality?
Don’t look at me, don’t understand me.
Let me out of this tomb of mirrors.
TEN POEM PROJECT (AUNTIE)
Direction: Nakoa Taggart and Gabriel Vasquez
(4:28 | USA, 2026)
Rooted in the experiences of migrant dancers in the United States, Ten Poem Project (Auntie) reflects on displacement, survival, and the transformative power of dance as both testimony and archive.
ZERO FEET, ZERO INCHES
Direction: Timothy James Nohe
(3:04 | DMV Artist, USA, 2020)
A datamosh video employing materials sourced from historic footage at archive.org. This piece features a performance of Variations V by John Cage, with the Merce Cunningham Company and Apollo footage from NASA. Sound created on a modular synthesizer, using recordings of John Cage as foundational elements. This work is linked to Bell labs Mosh through the common thread of Stan Vanderbeek, who created imagery for the original Variations V performance, which was broadcast in West Germany. Video and sound synthesis by Timothy Nohe.
FALLING UP
Direction: Parth Sethi and Priyank Sewani
(2:11 | USA, 2025)
This improvised drone film was created with 47 dancers and movers on a Brooklyn rooftop. In New York, the dance community is huge, yet our circles often stay small. We usually see only a few people during each phase of our lives, depending on where we work or train. Months or even years can pass without connecting with the larger community around us.
This project was my way of bringing people together. Nearly fifty artists with different styles and backgrounds shared a space, met one another, and created in the moment.
HELD BY LIGHT
Direction: Matteo Del Maestro
(1:51 | United Kingdom, 2025)
British and Japanese fusion as a dancer rises against nature and industry.
ONE & ONE OTHER
Direction and Choreography: Shawn Fitzgerald Ahern and Emilie Leriche
(24:40 | Germany, 2022)
A two part anthology, part one paints the 3am portrait of two shelf stockers at a 24/7 mega-super market, both entrenched in the banal nature of their perpetually ordinary jobs. Their imaginations and companionship allow for an intellectual jailbreak from their lives, as they are transported to the retro 80s dance break of their dreams.
A CALL OR KNOCK
Direction and Choreography: Colette Krogol and Matt Reeves (Choreography created in collaboration with performers)
(16:10 | DMV Artist, USA, 2026)
Orange Grove Dance’s newest film, A Call or Knock, is a quiet confrontation between the patterned rituals of modern life and the restless wild knowing beneath our skin. What calls on the other side of the door to our humanity? How do our bodies reconcile the tailored order of society with the ancient rhythm moving through our bones?
