FREE Dallas Viewing of Cultural Exchange Film between DBDT Dancers, Macedonian Filmmakers, and Romani MusiciansDallas, TX. Dallas Black Dance Theatre (DBDT) hosts the Dallas premiere of a creative documentary about African American history and dance in Dallas and Romani heritage and music in North Macedonia. The medium-length documentary, The Way of Clave, will premiere at 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm at Moody Performance Hall, 2520 Flora Street, Dallas, TX. 75201. DBDT dancers will take part in a Q&A following both showings. The 1:00 pm showing will include a live synchronous Q&A with participants in North Macedonia on screen.The documentary is the culmination of an eight-month cultural exchange Dallas Black Dance Theatre facilitated with Association MakeDox, a filmmaking nonprofit in the Republic of North Macedonia. All 13 DBDT dancers participated in the program with 12 Macedonian filmmakers and Romani musicians. Together, they learned about African American history and dance and Macedonian and Romani heritage and music. The dancers and musicians preserved and interpreted this heritage in site-specific performances in both countries. Filmmakers recorded their creativity and interactions in both countries, resulting in the 40-minute creative documentary. Funding for this cultural exchange project was provided by Communities Connecting HeritageSM (CCH), a program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State with funding provided by the U.S. Government and administered by World Learning. Dallas Black Dance Theatre was among five American cultural and educational organizations to be paired with five international cultural and educational organizations for the CCH exchange program.The Dallas Screening is made possible by City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs and Communities Foundation of Texas.TICKETSFree tickets to the premiere of The Way of Clave are available on Eventbrite at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/free-dbdt-film-screening-tickets-646432236222018-2019 | DBDT Season SponsorsLegacy Sponsor: Simmons Sisters Fund of The Dallas FoundationSeason Sponsors: Office of Cultural Affairs City of Dallas, Texas Instruments, International Association of Blacks in Dance, NBC 5, I Messenger, The Downtown Business News, TACA, The Dallas Morning News, PaperCity, American Airlines, The Dallas Weekly, and DART.2018 2019 | DBDT Season SupportersSeason Supporters: Texas Commission on the Arts, Lexus, OverseeMyIT, The Dallas Examiner, The Dallas Post Tribune, Elite News, AT&T Performing Arts Center, Trendy Africa, and Arts+Culture.
