Kinetic Cinema: "The MerryMakers Make Movies"

Part of Movements II at Fort Useless

Jessica Flanagan presents Movements, a dance series at Fort Useless. This month she'll be focusing on the collaboration of dance, film, and comedy showing a trio of pieces, including our Kinetic Cinema program "The MerryMakers Make Movies."

The MerryMakers' evening length show "Adventures in Anytown," part vaudeville act and part silent film era comedy, is the result of a collaboration between dancers Elizabeth Burwell and Rachel Sattler and filmmaker Ethan Duff. Dance and film are both effective mediums for visual communication, and by intertwining the two, the MerryMakers created a show that is at once nostalgic and innovative.



"The MerryMakers Makes Movies" will explore the ways that nostalgia and image influence the contemporary artist while at the same time morph into something new. The program will include footage from their show along with clips of influential film images and discussion of their experiences shooting throughout NYC, wearing clown make-up, in the dead of winter.



To start the evening, Jessica Flanagan will present her short film, "In Class With Maria", comprised of amusing stories and conversation that takes place in an average ballet class taught by Maria Zannieri at Westside Dance Project in Midtown, Manhattan.



Kate Taylor will follow with "Best Day Ever", created and performed by Kate Taylor with Michael Henry. First day on her job at Whole Foods, Me gets a welcome gift from her co-workers. A fun, touching piece about hopes and dreams...and reality.



Come to laugh and be inspired, and leave tapping your toes!
