"The Dancer Films" featured in New York Times

"The Dancer Films" is a collection of very short films based on Jules Feiffer's beloved cartoon character, the modern Dancer. Director Judy Dennis brilliantly translates six of Feiffer’s memorable cartoons−A Dance to Spring, A Dance to Art, A Dance to Summer, A Dance to the Loss of Innocence, A Dance to the New Year, and A Dance to the End of Summer−from the page to the soundstage, alchemizing drawing into dance for film. Brought to life by Merce Cunningham Dance Company dancer Andrea Weber, the Dancer is an icon to optimism and earnestness as she dances to celebrate a cycle of seasonal, emotional and political milestones.
