Artists, dancers, filmmakers and audiences filled the space for a programme built around dance film screenings, open conversation and the kind of creative exchange that’s hard to manufacture but easy to feel when it’s happening.
The evening moved through questions that don’t always get asked out loud — what happens when a body becomes the language? When choreography stops being performance and starts being memory?
The films on the programme pushed at those edges, sitting somewhere between cinema and dance without fully belonging to either, and that tension was exactly the point.
After the screenings, people stayed. The conversations that followed weren’t formal — they spilled naturally out of what everyone had just watched, touching on dance, film, the body as a political and personal archive, and what it means to work across disciplines without apology.
CCA Lagos was glad to support the event through venue and sponsorship.
It’s the kind of work the space exists to hold, thoughtful, cross-disciplinary, and genuinely public.
Chorea Cinema World put together a strong second edition, and the credit belongs to them and to everyone who showed up — the artists, contributors, and an audience that came ready to engage.
