Ze’eva Cohen: Creating A Life In Dance is a model of how an artist can survive in the dance world by carving out an independent path for herself. Primarily narrated by Cohen, the half hour documentary spans 70 years, encompassing her life as a young dancer in Israel, work in the U.S. as soloist with Anna Sokolow's Dance Company, pioneering 12 year solo repertory concerts, choreography for diverse dance companies, as well as work at Princeton University, where she founded and directed the dance program from 1969 to 2009. Following the documentary, this video includes the 28 minute Passing It On: Four Princeton Alumni Look Back - conversations with Jose Mateo ’74 (Jose Mateo Dance Theatre), David Rousseve ’81 (David Rousseve/REALITY), Jill Sigman ’89 *98 (jill sigman/thinkdance), and Mariah Steele ’06 (Quicksilver Dance), who reflect on Ze’eva’s teaching and profound influence on them and their subsequent careers as dancers and choreographers. Performances include Negotiations (1996), If Eve Had A Daughter: Mother’s Tongue/I Love You (1996), Ariadne (1985), Rainwood (1977), and Mothers of Israel (1975) – a few of the full length iconic representations of Ze’eva’s 40-year career.

TAP OR DIE is a feature-length documentary that tells the story of master hoofer Derick Grant. He brought in the funk with Savion Glover and now he’s determined to bring his own hip, rousing show—Imagine Tap!—to Broadway. It was a hit in Chicago, but the show faces a convoluted course of obstacles in the Big Apple—the ghosts of the Big Band Era, the pitfalls of commerce, and an abiding legacy of racism. With an original score by Stomp phenom Nicholas Young and performances by the world’s best tap dancers, including Bessie Award winner Michelle Dorrance and Emmy Award winner Jason Samuels Smith, TAP OR DIE is an ode to the genre, an indictment of the system, and a tribute to tappers and their struggle to get their feet where they belong—back on the Great White Way. Throw down the wood, Broadway!

An astonishing documentary about a man who overcomes his disability one day at a time, Alan Govenar's new film reveals the extraordinary life of African immigrant Sidiki Conde. Sidiki lost the use of his legs to polio at age fourteen. Today, he balances his career as a performing artist with the almost insurmountable obstacles of day-to-day life in New York City. From his fifth-floor walk-up apartment, he traverses down the stairs on his hands and then navigates in his wheelchair through the sidewalks of Manhattan onto buses and into the subway. Despite his disability, he manages to teach workshops for disabled kids, busk on the street, rehearse with his band, bicycle with his hands, and attend a naming ceremony, where he plays djembe drums, sings, and dances on his hands...proving to all You Don't Need Feet to Dance.
