Sally Gross- The Pleasure of Stillness is a documentary portrait of the life and work of the critically acclaimed New York based dancer and choreographer, Sally Gross, who has been performing for over 50 years. The film features excerpts from her work as well as interviews with dance critics, collaborators and friends. It tells of her childhood as a daughter of immigrants in the Lower East Side, her training with visionary choreographer Alwin Nikolais at Henry Street Playhouse, and her involvement in the legendary Judson Dance Theater. Now in her seventies, Sally continues to choreograph and perform. Filmmakers Albert Maysles and Kristen Nutile follow this charismatic artist as she embarks on the unpredictable journey of creating a new work.
The screening will be preceded by a live dance performance by Sally Gross, and followed by a short film, Stopped in her Tracks, which features Ms. Gross in performance.
