"tethered" dance film screening & conversation | ArtLab

Details

Join the screening of the dance film short, "tethered," at ArtLab in Boston. This event, which is free and open to all, will take place on March 13, 2024. The film, created by The Partnering Lab, features the collaboration of director-choreographer Raja Feather Kelly and cinematographer Sue Murad. It explores the tethering of different dimensions within a partnership, combining elements of dance theatre and documentary. The process-based approach involved a dynamic journey between film and choreography, highlighting the relationship between rehearsing + performing, process + product, and direction + editing. The film stars Ilya Vidrin ('15) and Jessi Stegall ('22), who pursued a responsive-emergent method during filming. With no predetermined storyboarding, Sue and Raja captured the spontaneous manifestations of the performers. Shot at ArtLab, the film is associated with Ilya Vidrin's 2020 ArtLab residency. After the screening, there will be a conversation with the creative team, providing insights into the artistic process behind this captivating artwork. Don't miss this opportunity to witness the fusion of dance and film at ArtLab's exclusive screening of "tethered."
