Boulder Ballet’s Dance Film Festival presents: “Picnic”

Boulder Ballet presents RAWdance’s short dance film Picnic (2020) as part of its first Annual Dance Film Festival.

Picnic takes place within a surreal, grassy bubble, echoing the experience of its creators, RAWdance Co-Artistic Directors Ryan T. Smith and Wendy Rein, while sheltering in place in New York’s Hudson Valley last summer. Themes of time and consumption expand and converge throughout the film, countered by a klezmer music through-line.

Picnic premiered as part of the CONCEPT series: Digital Edition in August 2020.
