SUMMARY:Dancing in the Dark: A History of Dance in the Movies (Virtual Even
 t)
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThe movies and dancing are a partnership born in heaven. Fr
 om its very beginnings\, the new medium of motion pictures turned toward d
 ance as one of the best ways to showcase its unique ability to make moveme
 nt come alive. And through the decades\, it’s been dancing on the big sc
 reen that has provided some of the most ecstatic moments in film history
 —whether it’s Fred Astaire gliding on the ceiling in Royal Wedding\, t
 he Nicholas Brothers leaping down a staircase in Stormy Weather\, Moira Sh
 earer pirouetting through the dreamscape of The Red Shoes\, or John Travol
 ta burning up the dance floor in Saturday Night Fever. Illustrated with mo
 re than 75 video clips\, this talk will survey 130 years of thrilling movi
 e dance performances and demonstrate the extraordinary ways cinema brought
  dance to life.\n\nAbout the presenter:\n\nBrian Rose is a professor emeri
 tus at Fordham University\, where he taught for 38 years in the Department

 ision history and cultural programming\, and conducted more than a hundred
  Q&amp\;A’s with leading directors\, actors\, and writers for the Academ
