These include the Merce Cunningham Trust and the Martha Graham Dance Ensemble. His work has been performed and featured at global cultural venues, including Lincoln Center and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

In addition to the movie, the event will feature performances by students from area dance studios and a Q&A with Bo Pressley. FREEDOM RENEGADE runs 49 minutes and is not rated. The entire program is expected to be approximately 95 minutes.
