D.U.I-Drama Under The Influence . Dance is as old as human history. It is innately human, an irresistible and universally recognized as a metaphor for life.
Dance marks important rituals in almost everyone's life.
It is an essential part of religious expression. Artists formalize these rituals on stage in movement we applaud as ballet, modern, jazz, tap and hip hop. D.U.I-Drama Under The Influence is an exploration of the role dance has in influencing story and character in short films. From an animated vision of creation to the story of an older woman facing the last days of her life, this influence may be seen in the circumstances characters experience and the way the director presents his or her overall vision. The artists represented here come from Canada, Scotland, France and the United States.
