Falling on the third day of the jam-packed Movement Research Festival Spring 2007: Reverence (Irreverence), Rewind/Unwind is an invitation to kick back, relax, and take a look at rare footage from the NYC experimental dance/performance scene.

Rewind/Unwind
Set up like a radio program, VJs will play hour-long sets of footage starting with the 80s at 4pm and moving through today with selections made from the Movement Research archives and personal collections. In a form that is intrinsically non-conducive to any kind of linear historical documentation, Rewind/Unwind offers a unique opportunity to forge you own personal relationships with this selection of its past and present. Spontaneous performances of any kind in relation, reaction, or retaliation to what you see on screen are welcomed as is simply relaxing, observing, and coming and going as you please.

The Holy Ghost

A night of video screenings curated by Jillian Peña. These works re-imagine the body beyond what is represented or seen. Artists include: Liz Rosenfeld, Ishmael Houston-Jones, Josh Mannis, Faye Driscoll, and others.
