Phoenix Dance

FILMS ON ART

Phoenix Dance

Director: Karina Epperlein
Filmmaker in person
"My film PHOENIX DANCE shows us the beauty and strength of one individual who defies our expectations of what it means to be 'disabled'. In March 2001, Homer Avila, who had been dancing with Twyla Tharp, Bill T. Jones, Mark Morris and Momix, as well as other companies, discovered that the severe pain in his right hip was cancer. One month later, his right leg and most of his hip were amputated. What unfolds is the story that leads to the pas de deux called "Pas", which the renowned Alonzo King choreographed for Homer and Andrea Flores. We witness a deeply moving collaboration. For me, the film is an intimate poem reminding us that when heart and will are joined the impossible can happen." -- Karina Epperlein. This exquisite film is not to be missed. (2006, 16 min.)
Showing: May 18, 5pm, Matheson
