Memories in Solitude

This video is a movement reflection with Marie Fourcaut (and other dancers) of Carla Kimball's photography exhibit entitled "Solitude" at the AVA Gallery in Lebanon, NH during the early pandemic months in 2020.

A full showing of the documentary COVID, A Poem and A Rope (featured in the above trailer) premiered June 26, 2021 in Corinth, Vermont as part of a fund raiser for the Junction Dance Festival.  This film was produced by Elizabeth Kurylo with generous support from the Vermont Arts Council and the Vermont Community Foundation.  Watch full video

Carla has also spent the last year collaborating with Peggy Brightman, choreographer, to produce a five act film entitled Our Voices, Bodies Rising, as a dedication to Ruth Bader Ginsberg and celebrating a centennial of women’s suffrage in poetry and dance.  This film is a new and unique approach to filming dance guided by Pandemic restrictions, blending poetry and dance with music, created, performed and created during the past year by some 40 local participants ( ages 6 to 80’s) using smart-phone videos and recordings. Stay tuned for a short trailer and announcements of two showings at the Grange Theater in Pomfret, VT on November 6 and 7.
