Postcard from Kingsley Irons Artistic Director of Dances Made to OrderReturn To FeaturesDances Made to Order Features New York Dance Film Artists AND will make an appearance at The Dance On Camera Festival...A Postcard to all dance and film enthusiasts, from Kingsley Irons:Kingsley Irons is a choreographer, filmmaker and Artistic Director of Dances Made to Order.Dances Made to Order is a curated, monthly, film series available exclusively online at DancesMadeToOrder.com. Every month, we offer a dose of cool, cheap,convenient culture by featuring three talented artists who rise to the challenge to create a five-minute film in two weeks inspired by ideas chosen by our audience! “We firmly believe talented artists should be compensated for their work, and that we need to find new ways of funding the arts. Dances Made to Order provides a global distribution platform for dance film, and we also share our profits: 65% of our ticket revenue goes back to our artists and an additional 10% goes to each of our curatorial partners. The way audiences consume media is changing. We want dance film to have a place in the changing media landscape by presenting it through a forum that is unfettered by the constraints of geography, time and distance.” Trailer for Pursuit, a 2011 Dance Made To Order film by Hip Hop Trailblazer, dancer, choreographer, filmmaker and native of Los Angeles, Amy "Catfox" Campion. This film will be featured in this years upcoming Dance On Camera Festival....For info on the showing of this film at The Dance On Camera Festival, click here Now already in the second month of our season, Zach Morris of Dance Films Association's Dance Film Lab has curated our New York edition which will feature New York Artists: Kelly Bartnik and Geoffrey Ehrlich ,Hanaah Frechette, and Mayuna Shimizu. Zach Morris says, “I'm thrilled to be curating February's Dances Made to Order, and excited to see what Geoff/ Kelly, Mayuna, and Hanaah create. They are artists with wildly different sensibilities and are coming from vastly different points in their careers (from producing work in NY for more than a decade, to starting to make work only few months ago). I feel that they represent an interesting cross section of artists who've found their way to creating dance for the camera. Most of all, they are all fantastic artists with an astute understanding that the dance film form can be a meaningful way to articulate an artistic vision that simply could not exist on stage or in another medium.” Vote on the ideas that will inspire our New York artists’ work from February 8 through February 16 at midnight.
