When wundergeezer Mitchell Rose presents The Usually Funny Dance-Films of Mitchell Rose, it'll be more than just a frolic through the comic short dance-films spanning the oeuvre of the artiste. The screening is the convergence of the two lives of Mitchell Rose—a former choreographer, now a filmmaker whose offbeat short films have won 100+ awards. The films are manically funny, often poignant, and always surprising. First up in the program's seven shorts is Deere John. A man and a 22-ton John Deere excavator dance a duet of discovery, fulfillment, and the problems that any diesel-based relationship will face. Another selection is the viral short Learn to Speak Body. With over 3 million views online, it's a language instructional video… but for body language.
The New York Times proclaims "Mr. Rose is a rare and wonderful talent."
The Washington Post declares "In the tradition of Chaplin, Keaton, and Tati—funny and sad and more than the sum of both."
Mitchell is professor of dance-film and on Saturday afternoon he will give a talk entitled "The Film is the Dance." For people who've spent most of their lives envisioning dance on stage, it's natural to think of dance-film as beautifully recorded choreography. But Dance-film is film and it requires film thinking.

City Ballet's "Cinderella" vividly captivates audiences bringing Charles Perrault's treasured fairy tale to life. In this timeless rags to riches story, Cinderella dares to dream and make a wish that is wrapped in the promise of "happily ever after." Aided by her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella is swept away to an enchanted evening where she saves a reluctant Prince and makes her dreams a reality. Andrea Hill's imaginative choreography, Prokofiev's beloved score, and stunning costumes and scenery make "Cinderella" a favorite for all ages!
