What does it mean to be human? It’s a hard question. It’s even harder to answer only through a filmed dance. The 5th Annual Celebrate EveryBODY Screendance Festival tries to dive deep into the essence of humanity through eight to 10 short dance films from around the world and the Gonzaga community. While live performances are restricted to a stage, these films have the creative freedom to transport the audience wherever they choose. One film touches on the Gonzaga dance department’s longstanding partnership with Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation. Though the event is free, donations are appreciated and will directly benefit Dance for Parkinson’s, hosting regular classes for those with the condition. The screening is 45 minutes, with a paneled discussion afterward.
