Dance Camera West 2011 - Never Stand Still trailer

Never Stand Still will have its west coast premiere at the 2011 Dance Camera West dance media film festival.

It will screen, Sunday June 19, 2:15--3:30PM at the Hammer Museum
as part of the Iconic Figures in Dance: Documentary Series.

Never Stand Still explores why dance matters to those who make it and those who watch it. The documentary reveals the remarkable story of how an abandoned Massachusetts farm evolved into a focal point for dance throughout the world. Its unlikely purchase by choreographer Ted Shawn during the Great Depression allowed this secluded site in the Berkshires to become the internationally renowned Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival. Through candid conversations with world-class choreographers and dancers, thrilling performances, backstage access and rare archival footage, "Never Stand Still" immerses the viewer in this most ephemeral of art forms, celebrating not only its value to our culture, but also to our lives. Featuring Merce Cunningham, Mark Morris, Paul Taylor, Rasta Thomas (Bad Boys of Dance), Nikolaj Hubbe (Royal Danish Ballet artistic director), Judith Jamison, Gideo Obarzanek of Chunky Move) among others.
