ELEVATE: A Dance, Reunited

#FranceAtlanta2021 | ELEVATE: A Dance, Reunited

ELEVATE is thrilled to collaborate with France-Atlanta and Atlanta Contemporary to present “A Dance, Reunited.” A film screening will be followed by a panel discussion with artists and community leaders about the resurgence of the global arts community during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Co-produced by HAU Hebbel am Ufer, “the film Letters from the Continent” was conceived and shot in May and June 2020 and features 21 artists from Cape Town, Dakar, Lagos, Maputo, Moroni, Tunis and other cities. Filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic, it reflects on how, for many people, there has always been some sort of crisis – a health, political or, above all, economic crisis – and how the handling of such a crisis can make people everyday heroes. The film Letters from the Continent is part of the 2021 Dance Films Catalogue conceived by the Cultural Services of the Embassy of France in the United States.

This event is organized by the Atlanta Office of the Cultural Services of the Embassy of France in the United States with the support of the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, ELEVATE and Atlanta Contemporary.
