Film Series: Dances for the Camera

Featuring the premiere of Ellis won’t be Dancing Today, a dance/theatre piece about one woman’s story of her husband and Alzheimer’s disease. Ellis won’t be Dancing Today was originally created as a live performance piece by Kuntz and Company for the Palliative Care Summer Institute in July 2014. Pam Kuntz of Kuntz and Company and Juliette Machado of JmWorks have adapted the piece into a short film starring Jim Lortz and Marilyn Flint. The piece is about Marilyn’s experiences with her husband Ellis at the end of his life with Alzheimer’s. It will premiere at the Pickford Film Center on January 10th. “Dances for the Camera” will also highlight other locally-produced works including Kuntz and Company’s Parkinson’s Dreams About Me and the dance film, Pacing, which features members of Bellingham Repertory Dance.
