The 30-minute film discusses the use of dance in discovery, healing, dissent, communication, protest, culture, and social movements through the lens of three dance companies across the United States (Urban Bush Women, Brooklyn, NY; OpendanceAZ, Phoenix, AZ; Dance Brigade, San Francisco, CA). The project seeks to shed light on the power of movement and the importance of art in human engagement.
