BRIDE AND BROOM
Mabebe Delgado (USA-Spain) 1999, 2min
A housewife dances into a fantastical dream world and back again in this charming animated short.

LA VIE EST BELLE
Tristan Duhamel, France, 2004; 3.13m
A character of street-art painted by Jérôme Mesnager is dancing and running on the walls of Paris, animated by Tristan Duhamel.

QUIZAS, QUIZAS, QUIZAS
Gabrielle Lamb, Canada, 6.5m, 2007
This whimsical short combines dance and animation to tell the story of onedancer's journey through time and space in search of her place in the universe. Through a series of short episodes, each set to a different cover version of the classic song "Quizas, Quizas, Quizas," ("Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps") she finds herself confronted by spinning buildings, an angry Ginger Rogers, and a set of aggressive picture frames----only to find that destiny appears where and when she least expects it.

SURFACE
Patrick Lovejoy, USA, 2008
A meditation on the body, this piece frames and layers the simple movements and gestures of a dancer. The result is an abstract portrait that flows, shifts and reveals itself to exist somewhere between a dance and a moving painting.

This program was made possible through DFA's touring program sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, the members of DFA, and the Susan Braun Trust.
