Dance Currents Inc. Presents: Moving Forward in Place

Dance Currents Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dance company founded and directed by Kathy Hassinger. Its mission is to strengthen the links between past, present and future dance; to present the art of dance as vital to the health and culture of a thriving community; to collaborate with artists of different disciplines; to expand the field and appeal to the broadest community; and to participate in fundraising events that benefit the entire community.

Hassinger directed, co-authored and produced the film To Feel the Earth and Touch the Sky. She has had two virtual and six live screenings of the film, most recently at the Friends Community in Sandy Springs, MD.

Moving Forward in Place is a hybrid dance/film performance. You will see a short dance titled Still/Moving, a longer one titled Places on the Way, the film, To Feel the Earth and Touch the Sky, Living the Legacy of Modern Dance and a piece by Yvonne Rainer, Diagonal. The point of the performance is to present how people, art forms and art spaces evolve. Still/Moving shows how individuals can move forward in place. Places on the Way shows the path of an artistic journey, the film is the evolution of modern dance and Diagonal extends that evolution a bit further. Both the Scandinavian Cultural Center and the Allen house have grown into art spaces, keeping their original purpose.

The hope is that this performance will be a reminder of the triumph of the human spirit in artists and communities who create despite difficult circumstances. To inspire resilience and creativity, we need to present those artists/dancers/communities who embodied both.
