Join us for a film screening and artist talk of Mute: Dance Silenced by COVID, written and directed by local DMV artist Shawn Short. The film is an Award-Winning short documentary featuring six United States dancers and their experiences within the initial months of COVID-19. A “light on the other end of the tunnel” story, Mute: Dance Silenced by COVID, also speaks on personal reactions to George Floyd’s murder, artist unemployment, new hopes, and creativity.

All ages welcome.
