That’s right, we are coming to a close to season 5 and the Frameform series. It’s been a wonderful 5 years of making this show, but as time evolves, so have our lives and workloads…so we’re putting a pin in it.

Today we’re reflecting on a wonderful season of interviews and discussions while also looking back at the past 5 seasons of lively topics that we have covered. We’re having heart to hearts, and getting a little gushy, but isn’t that what friendship is all about sometimes?

We want to thank all the listeners and subscribers who downloaded our show, interacted with us on social, and participated in this little project that we created. This is not the complete ending to this series as we’ll be re-releasing all of our episodes on YouTube for you to access. Be sure to subscribe to our Patreon to find out when those re-releases are available.

Thank you again, and please keep in touch! We would love to continue Frameform and make recorded dance film conversation accessible to all, but on a different scale. If you are a festival curator, organizer, dance film writer, whatever you call yourself, we would be happy to collaborate.

Don’t be shy, send us an email at frameformpodcast@gmail.com to keep this conversation going. What episode stood out to you and why?

Well, aside from our wrap up, it’s our final episode of Season 5. Today we’re having a bit of a full circle moment and revisiting a project we covered in our very first season.

Listeners of Frameform may remember our interview with some of the team behind Uprooted: The Journey of Jazz Dance from Season 1.

This doc has had a long and successful festival run, earned countless awards, been available on HBO (now Max) and has now evolved to internationally touring events called “The Uprooted Experience”.

For the live event component of Capitol Dance & Cinema Festival this season, Dancinema hosted an Uprooted Experience in the DC Metro area.

We had an encore screening of the film and three awesome dance classes you’ll hear snippets from. Our classes and faculty were: African Dance with Robin Gee, African American Social Dance with Cat Foster, and Tap with Germaine Goodson.

The day concluded with a panel discussion and Q&A with the faculty and Lisa Donmall-Reeve, film producer and project education director.

While the concepts of mass appeal and state of the art don’t always dance well together, today’s guest has proven that you can accomplish both.

If you’re a dancefilm enthusiast you’ve very likely to have seen Andrew Margetson’s films, which are quickly identified by their high caliber dance and flawless cinematography. If you’re a curator, you have likely included a few of them in your programming over the past decade.

Andrew’s short dancefilm oeuvre includes the following we cover in this episode: Stavropol, Lil Buck with Icons of Modern Art, Duet, Reborn and Step By Step with Lauren Cuthbertson.

In addition to being popular on the festival circuit and persistent audience favorite, he also has a successful career making commercials, many of which feature dance and movement.

Today we cover all of this, plus an exciting change of direction for his next project. Andrew is usually the one behind the scenes sharing others stories. Today, we’re turning the focus to hear his perspective.
