LA DANCE CHRONICLE
From an impromptu monologue over cake to a witchy submission to dance, Dance Camera West’s programming on Thursday, January 30, 2025, showcased international and local creatives discovering new ways to tell stories through dance. The program was extensive with nine films in the “International Shorts Program B” installment and 11 films in “LA Pops Up,” curated by Hysterica’s Kitty Mcnamee. Rather than dissect it all at once, here are the trends that stood out in this year’s iteration of the festival.
