Film screening of “KOLONIAL” and discussion with the Director/Choreographer Stefanie Batten Bland and Cinematographer/Director Jean-Claude Dhien, moderated by Paul Sigh (Baryshinokov Arts Center Associate Presenter).

Produced by Mikhail Baryshnikov, the dance-cinema film KOLONIAL unites choreographer Stefanie Batten Bland , artist Conrad Quesen, Costume designer Shane Ballard, make-up artist Damian Monzillo, composer Grant Cutler, and Photographer Jean Claude Dhien together in a COVID futuristic installation. This collaboration stirs the many emotions of isolation, entrapment, extreme loneliness, desire to touch, to reach out, to escape, to be free of bonds that restrict life. The film compares the bondage of colonialism with the imposed bonds of the pandemic.
