Jack Ferver and Jeremy Jacob present their new film, Nowhere Apparent.

New York Public Library for the Performing Arts - Bruno Walter Auditorium

Choreographer, writer, and performer Jack Ferver stars in the dance film, Nowhere Apparent, by filmmaker Jeremy Jacob. The film creates a kaleidoscopic world of queer isolation, theatricality, and abandonment in response to disappeared parental figures and the failed response to the AIDS crisis. Both Ferver and Jacob were Dance Research Fellows with the Jerome Robbins Dance Division in 2019, working with the Division’s AIDS Legacy Project.A screening of the film will be followed by a conversation between the two artists and James King, the senior artistic director of ALL ARTS, who commissioned the film.Photo Credit: Jeremy Jacob
