HÄSTDANS PÅ HOVDALA DAVID FISHEL, 2013 USA | 60 MINUTES

Buy Tickets: Saturday February 1, 1:00p

World Premiere!

A panel discussion follows screening with Equus Projects director JoAnna Mendl Shaw; dancers Carlye Eckert, Fanny Sura, and Jessica Martineau; film’s director/editor David Fishel; and Swedish director of Klinten Kultur Ulrika Michels Nord.

Imagine a life devoted to blending the artistry of dance with the physicality of horsemanship! That is exactly what the unconventional choreographer JoAnna Mendl Shaw has done with Equus Projects. Her previous large-scale works for dancers and horses have been produced throughout the United States. Now, she takes her company to Sweden to work with new elements and new friends in the rural countryside. Ulrike Michels Nord, director of Klinten Kultur, a company of young adults with autism, opens the way for the American choreographer to create a magical piece that expresses the joys and challenges of bringing together unfamiliar beasts (the new horses), trainers, professional dancers and autistic individuals to make a work of art in a mystical setting—the Hovdala castle and library ruin deep in a forest. The challenge is to accomplish this feat in just 12 days! Screening with: Carry It On…  Sharon Leahy, USA, 2012; 19m Carry It On… explores the power and potential of place and our relationship to it. A cast of dancers and musicians explore the human need to gather and connect with their environment.
