Arthur & Aileen

Description

This documentary takes place in a tiny New York apartment which can barely contain the combined energy of dancer Arthur Aviles and his mentor, Aileen Passloff. Arthur is a Bessie & Brio award winner who danced for many years with Bill T. Jones and is currently director of BAAD! (the Bronx Academy of Arts & Dance). Aileen is an octogenarian dancemaker, a dance pioneer at the Judson Church with James Waring and others. Their candid conversations touch on process, their decades-long relationship, dance history and what matters in dancing.
