A fantastic opportunity to watch and discuss dance film. The Ballet Boyz spoke of their up and coming projects as well as their approach to making film. A varied programme of dance films with introductions by leading figures of dance. Can’t wait for the next series.

Great to see the BalletBoys at the Forward Motion Dance on Film event in Grays this week. They have such an interesting tale to tell whether through film or movement. This was followed by 6 films selected by other artists in the field. My two favourites were Tattoo and The Cost of Living. Check them out and let me know what you think.

Really enjoyed Forward Motion part 2. Computer Love was a great piece. Very quirky. Enjoyed seeing Duellist too very energetic and great use of the Arndale Centre.
