We’re proud to partner with Ohio State’s Department of Dance in presenting their dance film student showcase.  

Join us for an evening of exciting and inspiring film projects produced by BFA, MFA, and dance minor students in Ohio State's Department of Dance.

This program showcases undergraduate and graduate dance videos created during the 2024–25 academic year. The videos were created as part of MFA thesis studies, Dance 5211: Dance Film I, and Art 4009: Film/Video II: Experimental Strategies. (Program approx. 60 mins., DCP)
