A work-in-progress showing and discussion of a community-based dance film that explores the construction of identity and democracy through navigating everyday poetics and pressures, finding belonging at intersecting social systems, and embodying artifacts of personal and collective histories.

The film is being created by MSU Denver Dance Faculty members Nicole Predki, Jacob Mora, and Michelle Bernier and Sans Souci Festival of Dance Cinema, in collaboration with Bruce Tetsuya (Denver's House of Kodo), Brian O'Hara (Sociology & Anthropology),  Vincent Piturro (English), and students from MSU Denver across 5 departments, with marketing support by Laurel Lane (Marketing). This showing and discussion is supported by Denver Arts & Venues through the DENVER CREATES Fund, and audiences will watch the film, hear from its creators, and be invited to share their feedback on the future development of the film.
