‘here and there, now and then’ at Third Coast Dance Film Festival, Reno, NV, 2025
The video ‘here and there, now and then’ has been selected for the Third Coast Dance Film Festival in Reno, Nevada, and will screen on February 22, 2025. The festival celebrates the intersection of contemporary dance and the moving image in a program of films that reflect diversity in genre, form, and representation.
Video synopsis:
While interacting with Cheryl Pagurek’s States of Being video and sound installation, dancers Rion Taylor and Wyeth Walker move fluidly through space and time. They traverse public and private locations, inhabit physical and virtual realms, and explore connections and relationships between the past, the present and an uncertain future. Their movements unite black and white film footage with contemporary video recordings, while building a compelling soundscape with composer Jesse Stewart’s music. Imagery of daily life gives way to hot and swirling climate maps, forging a continuum between here, there, now, and then.
