Documentary feature “Breaking Form” explores the 40-year career of choreographer Jane Comfort, who emerged in the late 1970s with experimental fusions of text, rhythm, and movement that spoke to the social issues of her day.West Coast Premiere — In an intimate and wide-ranging portrait of maverick choreographer Jane Comfort, “Breaking Form” explores a creatively rich chapter in New York City’s downtown dance scene and its legacy today. Beginning in the late 1970s and spanning her 40-year career, Comfort fused text, rhythm, and movement to craft experimental works of bold political satire and irreverent social commentary. Archival footage and contemporary interviews with Comfort, her collaborators, and dance historians shed light on an artist who defied expectations and engaged audiences through socially relevant, issue-oriented movement theater.
This screening will be followed by a Q&A with choreographer Jane Comfort and director Alexandra Nikolchev.
