A festival tradition, Dance-a-lorus pushes boundaries by pairing filmmakers and choreographers for an exploration of film and dance. This live stage event encourages collaboration as a fundamental form of creative expression. From abstraction to documentary, film and choreography come together in an experimental showcase of the region’s most talented artists.

Racket
There are specific repetitive rhythms that are heard in a print shop. It could be presses running, paper being jogged or stock being cut. With a soundtrack of these sounds as the basis of the piece, the mechanical side of the work mimics the movement of the dancers on stage, in an exploration of sound.

Seabreeze
Seabreeze was once a vibrant Black cultural mecca, which grew in response to segregation, only to be destroyed by Hurricane Hazel in 1954. The surrounding white communities were rebuilt, but Seebreeze was not.

Avatar Rising
With great evil, greater good will appear. An avatar is the incarnation of a deity in human form who counteracts some particular evil in the world. With live drummers, three dancers representing Oya (a powerful deity associated with transformation in West African traditions) initiate the changes we see on the screen.

Witness
The mover witnesses an altered sight. The caretaker witnesses and cares for the mover. The painter witnesses the landscape and creates an image. You witness all.

Sleeping Dreams of Blazing Snow
An impressionistic collaboration exploring the increasing heat of summer; melding the extremes of seasons with a continuous flow of movement.

F.A.B.L.E.
One of nature’s codes, the Fibonacci sequence, morphs into a digital matrix infiltrated with “virus-like” dancers, culminating in an algorithmic shift to an existence inundated with artificial realities.

ASPHYXIA
A man finds himself suffocating, crushed under the difficulty of his own life’s journey. He can’t stop or turn back; but he won’t survive alone.

Escapism
A lone dancer finds solace by stepping into her alternate reality. Sweeping waltzes in nature unite her past, present and future self.

I Saw You Trying
An examination of love, life, and loss. “You’re allowed to take on someone’s pain, you just have to know how to give it back.”

The Mimosa Tree
Look out the window and see, connect, feel what may be ripples of the haunting of human pain, and what might be transformed beyond it.

Dance-a-lorus is a premier collaboration between Cucalorus and the Dance Cooperative.
