ABOUT DARE 2 DANCE IN PUBLIC FILM FESTIVAL

MISSION STATEMENT
​

Dare to Dance in Public Film Festival (D2D) is an international festival devoted to celebrating, promoting, and democratizing dance and the genre of Screen Dance as a boundary crossing art form. D2D presents films that explore the intersections of dance and the camera, and dance as an urgent, irrational, and universal language. D2D is a platform for Dance and Dance Films that expand our conceptions of what it is to be human and alive in the world today. 

 

OBJECTIVES
 

At Dare to Dance in Public Film Festival, our objective is to present and promote the international genres of Dance and Dance Film (aka Screen Dance), as universal art forms that can speak beyond perceived borders of language, country, culture, religion, gender, and more.  In addition to annually presenting dance films, D2D presents live dance by emerging and established choreographers with every festival, and offers Dance Film Classes that democratize
the creative process of dance filmmaking as an art form.​
