Moving Images: The Art of Screendance

Join Rosie Trump, Associate Professor of Dance at the University of Nevada, Reno and Founder of Future Moves, as she discusses screendance as a dynamic art form.

Rosie Trump is an award-winning filmmaker and the founder and chief curator of the Third Coast Dance Film Festival. She is interested in the momentum of action. Feminist and deliberately minimal, her work examines the tension between the ordinary and the absurd.

Rosie’s dance films have recently screened at the San Francisco Dance Film Festival, Experiments in Cinema Festival, San Souci Dance Film Festival, Cinedanza Festival, Extremely Short Shorts at the Aurora Picture Show, and Dance Film Association’s Long Legs Short Films. She is a regular guest curator for Frame X Frame Dance Film Fest in Houston, TX.

Recent awards include a Puffin Foundation Grant for her film “Try to Keep Up”, an Atlantic Center for the Arts residency, a jury award from the Constructed Sight Festival, and grants from the Nevada Arts Council. Rosie is an Associate Professor of Dance at the University of Nevada, Reno.
