PLOT

Experience the highly anticipated theatrical premiere of Waiting Places, the newest film from dance luminaries Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber. Adapted from a live piece of the same name, this dance film explores the intersection of time, desire, and connection as five individuals inhabit a room, bound by the act of waiting. Immediately following the screening, Smith, Schraiber, and dancer Jeremy Coachman (LA Dance Project) will perform excerpts from two powerful works: an emotionally-charged solo from Seasons of Dance set to Max Richter’s reimagining of “Vivaldi, The New Four Seasons”, and a dynamic duet from The Cello Player which excavates the complexity of ancient relationships.
