Dancing Out of Time - An Environmental Dance Film Festival

The "Dancing out of Time" Environmental Dance Film Festival, presented by NWD Projects, is a one-of-a-kind event that combines the beauty of dance with the urgent need to protect our planet. We focus on the question, “What will you miss when it’s gone?” The festival is highlighting the work of dance artists from diverse environmental communities around the country, who are creating work focused on bringing attention to the interconnectedness of the natural world and our place within it.

Through a curated selection of thought-provoking films, this festival will take viewers on a journey through natural landscapes, showcasing the powerful relationship between movement and nature. Each film highlights a unique environmental issue, from climate change to biodiversity loss, and demonstrates how dance can inspire us to take action.

With a diverse range of styles, from contemporary to classical ballet, the festival showcases the versatility of dance as a form of environmental storytelling. You will be mesmerized by the fluid movements of dancers immersed in the natural world, creating a seamless connection between human expression and the environment.

As a unique platform for artists to showcase their work, the festival brings together dancers, choreographers, and filmmakers from around the world. Through this collaboration, the festival aims to inspire environmental awareness and spark conversations about the pressing issues facing our planet.

This is the first film festival that NWD Projects has produced and it was created with Executive Producer Andrew Chapman of Mobile Dance Film Festival. Andrew lead workshops with students of Miami Jackson Senior High School in February introducing concepts of film, movement, and location. They created their own dance films highlighting their community of Allapattah. One of the films “We All Can Re Unite And Be One” will be shown at the festival.

Join us for an unforgettable event that celebrates the beauty of movement and the importance of environmental conservation. Whether you're a dance enthusiast or an environmentalist, the "Dancing out of Time" Environmental Dance Film Festival is a must-see event that will leave you inspired and motivated to take action for the planet.
