This feature-length documentary is produced and directed by Joan Frosch and co-directed and edited by Alla Kovgan. Village Voice: "the film is a knockout" - January 2007 "... Movement (R)evolution Africa...summates all the riches and frustrations of Africa and the [African Film Festival] itself. Through interviews and performances from nine African choreographers, directors Joan Frosch and Alla Kovgan reveal how a community of artists has chosen to communicate the myriad passions and troubles of their homeland through dance. Revering the body as a form of fluid sculpture, these fierce artists from across the continent adapt conventional dance to their unique sense of self, hoping to engage with everyone—whites and the African diaspora alike—in order to challenge the West's stereotypical ideas of Africa. Movement is their voice and it screams in the film, "Africa must speak!" - April 2007 Nora Directed by Joan Frosch producer/director: Joan Frosch choreographer: Nora Chipaumire (http://pentacle.org/roster_nora_chipaumire.asp) Nora (35min, 2009): “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. Shot entirely on location in Southern Africa, “Nora” includes a multitude of local performers and dancers of all ages, from young schoolchildren to ancient grandmothers, and much of the music is specially composed by a legend of Zimbabwean music - Thomas Mapfumo. New York Times: "[Nora] succeeds in combining a rough personal narrative with poetic, allusive imagery." - Brooklyn Rail: "...dream-like recollections and vivid hues produce a rich and deeply satisfying film." - Brooklyn Rail, read full review Joan Frosch (Producer/Director) 
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Joan Frosch explores 21st century artmaking through the voices of often previously marginalized artists and thinkers, including the emergent voices of contemporary dancers and choreographers in Africa, and the African Diasporas of France and the USA. Joan's 30-year creative path encompasses making and directing dance theatre, filmmaking, writing and producing as a dance ethnographer/activist. Joan is Professor of Dance and Co-Director of the award-winning Center for World Arts at the University of Florida, and a founding member of The Africa Contemporary Arts Consortium, a national organization of curators, presenters, and scholars dedicated to the vigorous artistic exchange of contemporary African performance. www.movementrevolutionafrica.com and www.movementrevolutionafrica.com/nora Opening Music Roland Guerin and Contemporary dance Meredith Early A note from Roland Guerin: Music is something that is strong, beautiful, emotional and able to move people from around the world. It being a universal language enables people to share and grow together from all walks of life. I’m glad to be a part of the music community, with a vision and hope to bring people together. http://rolandguerin.com/ A note from Meredith Early: My impetus to create is sparked from the duality of my personal experiences and immersion in popular culture. Heavily based on pedestrain gesture and full bodied athleticism, I continually seek to redefine the role of performer and observer, making the art of dance more readily accessible to all. Special Thanks

One day a thunderstorm blew up along the Tennessee River. It was one of those moncler down coat storms that make the day go dark and the humidity disappear. First it was still and quiet. There was electricity in the air and then the sharp crispness of Moncler shop online a summer day being blown wide open as the winds rushed in. We threw open all the doors and windows. We found the classical radio station from two cheap north face jackets towns away and turned up the bass and cranked up the speakers. We let the wind blow in and churn our summer day around. We let the music we were only vaguely familiar moncler down jacket with roar through the house. And we twirled. We twirled in the living room in the wind and in the music. We twirled and we imagined that we were poets North face jackets sale and dancers and scientists and spring brides.
