Moderated by choreographer and Festival keynote speaker Mara Renzi.

A platform for dancers, choreographers, filmmakers, writers, screenwriters, poets and artists to explore this interdisciplinary genre and offering Iowa City audiences the opportunity to engage with this international celebration of dance and art.
