The new dance documentary called First Position is to have two screenings at the Melbourne International Film Festival.
The film is about last year’s Youth America Grand Prix and features six young aspirants - Jules Jarvis Fogarty (10), Aran Bell (11), Gaya Bommer, (11), Miko Fogarty (11), Michaela Deprince (14), Joan Sebastian Zamora (16) and Rebecca Houseknecht (17). They are followed for a year as they work toward the competition final. The film includes stunning footage in class and on stage.
The sessions are Wednesday August 15 and Saturday August 18, both at 11am, at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) at Federation Square.
Might be an inspiring alternative to morning class! See here.
