The Oath

Since the beginning of time, in communities, clans, congregations, and clubs, humans have gathered to move in unison. Set in a vivid universe of color and based on Annie-B Parson's stage choreography, The Oath explores the history of vernacular and poetic unison movement. Suspended between the communal and the monstrous, an assembly of seventeen women embody our human impulse to move as one — to bond, to battle, to intimidate, to gather, to promise, to dance!

Nora

"Nora" is based on true stories of the dancer Nora Chipaumire, who was born in Zimbabwe in 1965. In the film, Nora returns to the landscape of her childhood and takes a journey through some vivid memories of her youth. Using performance and dance, she brings her history to life in a swiftly-moving poem of sound and image. A girl who is constantly embattled - struggling against all kinds of intimidation and violence - but who slowly gathers strength, pride and independence.
