I agree with you about education being a crucial part of getting screendance out there. However, I also don't want it to go the route of modern dance, where tons of dancers get pumped out into the world from colleges and universities, and then there are few opportunities for them. We do need to think about how this can be sustaining, and that means artists get compensated for their work and have some monetary incentive! For that, we need to create demand from audiences. Education is a great tool to raise awareness for sure, and I think on the high school level is a great place to start. Thanks for your comment Lisa!

I especially enjoyed the vigorous questions that your guest Calvin Wilson raised and the enthusiastic conversations that took place following. I am still thinking about his "what next? how do you build interest" question but the first thing that comes to me is... education. I was a substitute teacher for a Dance on Camera class at an Arts High School in Hartford a couple months ago, it is a relatively new course option but how cool for the kids right? The more screendance enters academia (which is where much of the consistent arts funding and resources lie) the more screendance audience and filmmakers out in the world. I look forward to your next event and promise to bring someone new to the "fray"! Thanks Anna for a very successful final evening of Kinetic Cinema.
