Sally Gross- The
Pleasure of Stillness is a documentary portrait
of the life and work of the critically acclaimed
New York based dancer and choreographer,
Sally Gross, who has been performing for
over 50 years. The film features excerpts
from her work as well as interviews with
dance critics, collaborators and friends.
It tells of her childhood as a daughter
of immigrants in the Lower East Side, her
training with visionary choreographer Alwin
Nikolais at Henry Street Playhouse, and
her involvement in the legendary Judson
Dance Theater. Now in her seventies, Sally
continues to choreograph and perform. Filmmakers
Albert Maysles and Kristen Nutile follow
this charismatic artist as she embarks on
the unpredictable journey of creating a
new work.
The screening will be preceded by a live
dance performance by Sally Gross, and followed
by a short film, Stopped in her Tracks,
which features Ms. Gross in performance.
