Dance in the Sun

Dance in the Sun

Directed by Shirley Clarke • 1953 • United States

Director Shirley Clarke’s first film displays the dancing expertise of choreographer Daniel Nagrin as he performs in a studio and in the sun. Drawing upon her own dance training, Clarke fluidly follows Nagrin as he moves across the interior and exterior settings. Accompanied by the music of Ralph Gilbert, this short film is an early exercise in experimentation.
