Rod Rodgers Dance Company went to Opine Dance Film Festival - where our short dance film "Between Us" was shown.

We collaborated with to bring to life Artistic Director dance film vision to address the happenings of the pandemic and social upheaval, in a time when it was both easy and somehow harder and harder for people to connect. The film was screened at in Pennsylvania with RRDC general manager Rachel Lubell, film director , and company member there to represent in the audience and Q&A.

This is just the beginning of our journey with this film and we look forward to bringing it to a showing near you.

A big shout- out to Tiona Nekkia McClodden ( )!Thank you for being you and what you create.  Art can speak things that can't always be said with words.

Thank you to Rodney ( ), Jen (.ifilryan ), Nick, Pope( ), Deja( )and all the staff at the Shed ( )and NikeNYC ( )for making us feel super special.  We thank you from the core of our hearts for going out of your way to arrange everything minutely and carefully.
We feel super loved❤️❤️❤️
