Despite the challenges of social distancing, San Diego’s dance community is working to sustain its organizations while using film to inspire everyone from the grieving to the hopeful.
“Dancers and artists aren’t necessarily first responders,” explains Zaquia Mahler Salinas, artistic director of Disco Riot, the nonprofit that “exists to elevate a collaborative art culture.”
“But maybe they come in as second responders in terms of how different kinds of art can support people in finding lightness or ways of processing their experiences.”
Disco Riot is producing “A Year of DisDANCE,” a collection of six dance films by local choreographers that will be screened today at Cinema Under the Stars and Tuesday online.
