Aerowaves at 25 (2022)

For the last 25 years, Aerowaves has been at the forefront of innovative contemporary dance in Europe through supporting the work of emerging creators, shaping the art form and connecting the continent's dance world in the process. This documentary dives into the rich history of Aerowaves, the artists they have identified and supported, and the many offshoots that have grown up around this game-changing organisation, including experiments in VR. The film contains archive footage of past festivals, in-depth interviews with the founders and artists, and beautifully shot dance made specially for film. The film features interviews with: Founding Director John Ashford (previously of ICA and The Place) and Administrative Director Anna Arthur; prominent Aerowaves artists from across Europe, including Patricia Apergi (GR), Igor and Moreno (IT), and Oona Doherty (UK); esteemed dance writers Sanjoy Roy (the Guardian) and Donald Hutera (The Times); and connected dance professionals and partners.
