Hey friends--I am thrilled to once again be working with Kinetech and Mills College at Northeastern to present another round of DanceHack. For those that don't know, DanceHack is a somewhat annual gathering of dance and technology interested artists, engineers and academics. We have some incredible guests lined up to teach workshops and present their research. The weekend also includes hours of mind blowing hacking with spontaneously created collaborative teams of choreographers, dancers, performers of all kinds and engineers of all sorts. More info:

It’s almost time!! Mills Dance and is proud to present a series of brilliantly executed short dance films curated by the San Francisco Dance Film Festival. This hour-long program is a collection of “audience favorites” that thrillingly explore the many ways in which dance can come to life on the screen. From the macabre to the magical and from the human to the superhuman, these short movies demonstrate the depth of imagination that can be found at the intersection of these two art forms.
Come join us for this free event, November 17th at 7pm in Lisser Hall. Reception with refreshments and dessert items will follow. Reserve your ticket by visiting the link in our bio.
