SUMMARY:FREE Film Screening - Bees\, Bodies & Transformation - Jamestown Dance Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:Two groundbreaking dance films. Two radically different visual worlds. \nJoin us for a special Jamestown Dance Festival screening of: \nBEEHIVE1985 | 15 minutes\, 35 seconds | Color \nCreated by Frank Moore and Jim Self\, this award-winning 16mm film combines dance\, animation\, surreal design\, and absurd comedy. A bumbling drone accidentally transforms a worker bee into a Queen inside a wildly colorful hive inspired by television\, science fiction\, ballet\, and 1980s East Village experimentation. Beehive earned Bessie Awards for Moore\, Self\, and performer Teri Weksler. \nSHARIRA: Chandralekha’s Explorations in Dance2003 | 30 minutes | Directed by Ein Lall \nDrawing from Chandralekha’s works Shree\, Raga\, and Sharira\, the film examines her radical exploration of the body as a field where sensuality\, sexuality\, spirituality\, breath\, and feminine energy coexist. Through stark minimalism and striking physical imagery\, Chandralekha challenges the separation of body from mind and feeling from thought. \nFollowing the films\, Jim Self and Sukanya Burman will join audiences for an artist conversation about dance on camera\, interdisciplinary collaboration\, the body as a site of transformation\, and the very different artistic worlds behind these works. \nWhat to ExpectDancing bees and gloriously strange 1980s visual experimentationSculptural bodies\, geometry\, breath\, and meditative movementTwo distinct chapters of American and Indian contemporary dance historyA thoughtful and lively post-screening conversationAbsolutely no prior dance knowledge required \n Sunday\, September 13 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Sukanya Burman Dance106 E. 2nd Street\, Studio 3A\, Jamestown\, NY \nPresented as part of the 2026 Jamestown Dance Festival.

SUMMARY:Troy Lingelbach with International Lover - Jamestown Dance Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:September 10 (7pm) & September 13 (2pm) – Troy Lingelbach: International Lover \nLocation: Scharmann Theater\, JCC \nPrepare to look up. \nAerial artist and interdisciplinary performer Troy Lingelbach brings International Lover\, their debut solo work\, to Scharmann Theater for two performances as part of the Jamestown Dance Festival. \nBlending aerial arts\, dance\, performance art\, burlesque\, and physical theater\, International Lover is an autobiographical journey between an artist and their trapeze. Through breathtaking movement and radical vulnerability\, Lingelbach explores identity\, queer self-acceptance\, intimacy\, and transformation while quite literally redefining what dance can look like in space. \nPerformed in the intimate setting of Scharmann Theater\, audiences will experience an awe-inspiring work that expands movement beyond the stage and into the air itself. \nThis performance is part of the Jamestown Dance Festival\, a five-day celebration of dance\, movement\, and cultural exchange taking place throughout Jamestown from September 9–13\, 2026. Additional festival events include festival anchors Music From the Sole and Sun Kim Dance Theater at the Reg Lenna on Sept 11\, contemporary and postmodern works by TwinHead Dance\, Rik Daniels\, and Jim Self\, workshops led by featured artists\, film screenings\, artist talks\, and community engagement events. \nFounded by Sukanya Burman Dance\, the Jamestown Dance Festival was created from a simple belief: that communities of all sizes deserve access to world-class artistic experiences. The festival brings nationally and internationally recognized artists to Western New York while creating opportunities for meaningful dialogue\, cultural exchange\, education\, and community connection through movement. By presenting diverse dance forms and interdisciplinary performance practices alongside local engagement opportunities\, JDF seeks to expand perceptions of what dance can be\, who it is for\, and how it can foster empathy\, understanding\, and belonging. \nThis presentation is made possible through the generous support of the New York State Council on the Arts\, NYS DanceForce\, Arts Services Inc.\, the Chautauqua Regional Community Foundation\, Chautauqua County’s Occupancy Tax Program\, Live CHQ\, and partnerships with the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts\, Jamestown Community College\, and the Robert H Jackson Center.
