SpringMoves Dance Festival in partnership with The ISACS Network and Dance Ireland put out on open call for short films featuring dance or circus as the main art forms. They were looking for work that creatively engages with these forms and blurs the lines between them.
The response was overwhelming and made SpringMoves Reimagined 2020 very special indeed. There was a range of captivating creations by artists from around the world followed by engaging Artist Interviews. There was also a selection of Workshops & Keynote Talks.
