Forward Motion is a collection of outstanding British screen dance works curated by experts into three programmes. A British Council project co-produced with South East Dance (supported by Arts Council England), Forward Motion creates a moving snapshot of Britain’s prolific screen dance industry. On 23 November 2010, in partnership with the Cultural Centre of Belgrade, we brought Forward Motion for its Serbian premiere screening.

Forward Motion features over 20 historic, seminal and groundbreaking films along with interviews and insight into artistic practice.
