RE-COLLECT is an experimental dance documentary that traces an embodied exchange of intergenerational dance artists. Recorded in 2022 at a research symposium calledThink Gravity Dance Tank: Celebrating & Reckoning with Contact Improvisation and Performance, RE-COLLECT honors and interrogates the revolutionary dance form Contact Improvisation. The film serves as a time capsule during a pivotal moment at the intersection of COVID-19 and racial justice uprisings in the United States. Considering the gravity of these times, RE-COLLECT questions Contact Improvisation’s historical narrative and brings unspoken histories to the forefront to invite a more inclusive future of the form. The documentary will be followed by a post screening panel discussion with artists involved in the film.
