The Contamination Waltz, a short film about the Winter/Summer Institute (WSI) — which GGI faculty member Katt Lissard is artistic director of — was just named an official selection of the 28th Annual Dallas VideoFest (October 12th-18th). Here’s a description of the film, which focuses on the role of Multiple Concurrent Partnerships in the spread of HIV:
Since 2006 WSI has been making theater in Lesotho (a land locked country inside of South Africa) as part of the regions fight against HIV/AIDS. This short video offers a look at WSI’s creative process with student performers and theater professionals from three continents. Set against the beautiful landscape of Southern Africa the video also gives a glimpse into the traditional culture of rural villagers who participate in and watch the performances
