Why Should I Screen Forward Motion?

Screen dance is a fast growing art form and captures the imagination of a broad spectrum of people. Your possible target audiences for screenings could include:

Dance, film, new media, new technology and contemporary art audiences and interest groups
Dance practitioners, filmmakers, choreographers, moving image artists and other industry professionals
Students and teachers of dance film and cultural/British studies
General public with an interest in innovative, engaging arts events; particularly teenagers and young adults

Key Selling Points for your Potential Audience

Curated and presented by leading figures in the British dance and film world
Appeals to a wide range of audiences, crossing the boundaries of artist film and video, experimental film and contemporary dance
High quality production with world-class content and exclusive educational and web-based strands
Films sourced from archive, major broadcasters (BBC, Channel 4), leading dance film producers (MJW Productions, South East Dance), Arts Council England and independent artists
Comprehensive introduction to the history and development of British screen dance
Brings together over 20 films to create a moving snapshot of Britain’s screen dance history
