(a)similar in a pocket - Alexia Maikidou Poutrino

(a)similar in a pocket, is a screendance that brings the arts of dance, theater, and film into a dialogue through the embodiment of language and sound. The dancers translate words into movement, allowing meaning to dissolve into a cluster of mixed languages and syllables. What remains is the rhythm of speech, the texture of sound, and the physical traces of communication in motion.

Anchoring - Keren Meadows, Eli Williams

Anchoring explores the coexistence of polarities-heaviness and lightness, rootedness and uprootedness, certainty and change-in an effort to discover a deeper sense of self and belonging to place, people, and our histories.

Anchoring asks: what becomes possible when we allow ourselves to inhabit both stability and movement, holding space for the contradictions that define the human experience?

It’s more than just bricks and mortar - Becky Johnson

Moving Through- Kacper Bozek, Aleksandra Kus

The dance video features a dancer moving through an urban space, blending the art of dance with the dynamics of the cityscape and nature. 

Each gesture and step highlights the contrast between reality and imagination. Every shot offers a moment to reflect on how movement can be interpreted as a metaphor for the rush of life.
