Providence Children’s Film Festival: Bodies in Motion

Bodies in Motion

All ages

People express so much through their body language. Sometimes it’s planned like a dance, other times it’s a spontaneous reaction to our environment or a protest to an injustice done. Be warned that after watching these films you might be inspired to “speak” a different body language. This reel includes: a dance done completely underwater; a girl determined to be taught the art of wire walking; and a sloth that should never order ice cream again!

IMC seeks to develop dance as a valuable art form for our community through presenting original works of choreography which connect audiences to their own emotions and provides a shared experience that transcends cultural boundaries. In addition, IMC offers Creative Movement Programs, Movement workshops and Residencies for any age.
