Tamar Rogoff presents film excerpts from Demeter’s Daughter and The Ivye Project, two site-specific dances made for film, followed by a discussion with Q&A.

Tamar Rogoff is an award-winning New York filmmaker and choreographer, Guggenheim fellow, and a four-time recipient of grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. Her works have been commissioned by multiple arts and theater groups, including Lincoln Center, New York Foundation for the Arts, and The Harkness Foundation.

Demeter’s Daughter unfolds across parks, rooftops, and city streets in New York City’s Lower East Side, with a cast of neighborhood performers, professional dancers, and musicians, to explore the trauma of loss and the balancing of good and evil.

The Ivye Project was performed in a forest in Belarus where 29 of Rogoff’s relatives were murdered and buried in a mass grave during the Holocaust. The film features 5 survivors, the local townspeople, and a host of internationally renowned performers.

Sponsored by the Dance Department, Cognitive Science Department, and the History Department.

This event is free and open to the public.
