series #1 AND WE WILL DANCE FILM PROJECT (weekly clips)

Check out www.andwewilldance.com for more info. AND WE WILL DANCE FILM PROJECT is about the stories of dancers, their art and their passion. It was born out of artist/director Steve Childs desire to put these stories on film but to go far beyond the boundaries of the sixty-eight minute final cut of the documentary And We Will Dance. While working with my editors I soon realized that of the nearly seventy hours of footage we shot there were going to be so many more stories that could be told and so much more of the vision that we needed to share, says Childs. Though the film And We Will Dance is completed the ongoing unveiling of these dancers lives and AWWD FILM PROJECT provides the avenue and template for these remaining clips to come to light. Childs continues, Our plan is basically to release a new set of clips each week which build on the film. As far as Im concerned this IS part of the film. The new clips will range from one to ten minutes and will vary in style and purpose. Since the launch of AWWD FILM PROJECT in February, 2010 many of these episodes are being posted even before the official release of the DVD and will continue long after its initial release.

The music in this clip is by the wonderful band Luminescent Orchestrii and you can check them out at http://www.lumii.org/ . Many thanks to them for their contribution of music to this project.

It depends on the size, length and complexity of the performance so there is no perfect answer. But most of the rehearsals I've been able to be at from the beginning and leading up to the performance have started 2 to 3 months out.

How many months of preparation do the ballet dancers spend rehearsing a stage performance?
