Live Performance Captures – Captured Live

Each of these three films takes a distinct approach to capturing the ineffable vitality of live performance.

Experience dance in the unbounded wilds of Australia’s southern coast, across the transatlantic communion between Portugal and Cuba, and in the cavernous nave of San Francisco’s own Grace Cathedral. Whether soaring through the air or rooted into the earth, these artists tell universalizing stories as the moment-to-moment drama of live performance unfolds.
