SUMMARY:The 25th Festival de Jerez
DESCRIPTION:May 6th – May 22nd \nDon’t miss out on this once-in-a-life-time opportunity to watch live streaming of some of the performances of this world renowned festival. \nCELEBRATING 25 YEARS AS THE WORLD’S GREATEST FLAMENCO FESTIVAL\nThe Festival de Jerez is the foremost Flamenco and Spanish Dance Festival in the world. In 2021\, it celebrates its landmark 25th edition\, making it one of the longest-running festivals of its kind\, but this year\, the Festival de Jerez faces a new\, unprecedented challenge. \nWith the COVID-19 global pandemic still looming\, the festival administration decided to move this year’s edition to May instead of its usual dates in February and March and also to reduce the number of productions it normally presents. Moreover to protect the well-being of artists\, staff and audience the theatre capacity was reduced to 50%. The festival of Jerez usually hosts a large international contingency that flood the city Jerez de la Frontera to attend the festival’s courses and performance. Due to travel restrictions this contingency will be missed and as such the festival has partnered with two different platforms to show live streaming of its performances. This will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to see some of Spain’s finest performers in their newest product from the comfort and safety of home\, wherever home is. \nFor more information and Festival performances links click here

SUMMARY:REELING: Dance on Screen
DESCRIPTION:May 13th – May 29th  \nREELING: Dance on Screen is a series of  film screenings presented by Mile Zero Dance\, every second year. Each time the breadth\, scope\, and quality improves greatly along with technical knowhow\, as the form expands and more filmmakers become aware of dance as a viable medium. \nDancers across the planet have been working within constraints as they make work\, alone at home or in vast locations. This year’s curation has a strong theme of cultural representation\, and many of the selected pieces carry support for Black Lives Matter or involve dancers existing and occupying city spaces\, and are from countries including Brazil\, Cuba\, Tokyo\, Nigeria and more! \nWith over 1\,000 international submissions received in 2021\, our judges and curators are very excited to share their favorite selection of dance films that celebrate diverse bodies and abilities\, dances that take over buildings and environments\, and dances that take minimalism and the body to new artistic levels. \nAlso as part of the festival\, local film maker Shawn Tse will host two open panel discussions on Facebook to discuss the evolving medium of dance on film. Everyone is welcome! \nSchedule of Events\nPanel Discussions\n\nLocal filmmaker Shawn Tse will also host two open panel discussions on Facebook to discuss the evolving medium of dance on film.
