L’Allegro Movement Project, A Documentary Film by Ella Cooper and the Luminato Festival Youth Film Crew
A short documentary created by youth filmmakers and artist and director Ella Cooper about L’Allegro Movement Project – part of Luminato Festival’s Education and Outreach Program – will screen at the Regent Park Film Festival. In the months leading up to the 2013 Luminato Festival, dancers and teachers from Mark Morris Dance Group’s ground-breaking Dance for PD® program, collaborated with the Toronto Dancing with Parkinson’s group and local elementary school students from Nelson Mandela Park PS and Winchester PS to create L’Allegro Movement Project . This film highlights the creative process of this collaborative, intergenerational initiative, and the participants who explored and celebrated the expressive possibilities of movement through dance and music. The film will be shown Saturday November 16, at 12:30 pm, as part of the Regent Park Voices: Festival Workshop Presentation program.
