Tigertail Productions

ScreenDance Miami, directed by Marissa Alma Nick, highlights Miami-based choreographers and guests, movers and filmmakers who are working with emerging and new concepts in regard to movement and dance on film and dance on camera. The festival supports South Florida professionals in this field and the development of dance created for the camera. ScreenDance Miami is comprised of screenings, panel discussions, workshops and site-specific installations. Each evening of screenings will be followed by an open discussion we're calling ScreenTalk.

This year's festival opens on Wednesday, January 21, at the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), with a special evening of screenings from Cinedans, the premiere Dance on Film festival held annually in Amsterdam. We are delighted to be presenting these screenings at PAMM.

Then on Thursday, January 22, enjoy three simultaneous film loops at The Screening Room in Wynwood. These films are by Moira Holohan, Barron Sherer and Magnus Sodamin. Beverages will be provided. A ScreenTalk will follow.

On Friday, January 23, we move across the bay to Miami Beach Cinematheque for an evening of films by distinguished guest artists Marta Renzi (New York City), John Kirkscey (Memphis, TN) and Eva Perrota (New York City). The screenings will be followed by a ScreenTalk.

Saturday, January 24, begins with two afternoon workshops at Inkub8 in Wynwood, which are free and open to all. The first, by local attorney Marlon Hill, addresses legal issues for choreographers and filmmakers. This is followed by a workshop for choreographers, dancers and directors that addresses news points of view when capturing dance on camera. If will be led by dance-on-film pioneer Gabri Christa. Gabri was just named Artistic Director of Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden, the distinguished regional arts center in New York City.

Saturday evening starts with an outdoor wall projection installation of a film by Pioneer Winter. Inside Inkub8, film screenings will begin with selected Open Submission Artists Stephanie Capon, Blaze Gonzalez, Paola Escobar, Samantha Pazos, Tiffany Rhynard, Afua Hall, Jeffrey Smith, Niurca Marquez, Danielle Kipnis, Dale Andree and Gabriel Forestieri. These will be followed by screenings from Invited Artists Carla Forte, Alexander Ayer, Stefan Verna, Marissa Alma Nick, Jenny Larsson, Álex Pachón and Hattie Mae Williams. Both these screening sessions will be followed by a ScreenTalk.
