19.01.2022 Are you looking for something different to watch on the big screen over summer? The Art Gallery of NSW is about to launch into another brilliant film series Choreomania on Cinema, dance, and contagion. In this series, dance exudes an optimism that is sometimes contagious, sometimes cruel. For every frothy chorus line, there's a backstage meltdown. For every shimmy towards the good life, there's a cynical wink.... This summer will most likely be your only chance to see some of these films on the big screen, so get amongst it. https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/calendar/choreomania/
