GRACE FURY
FREE Tickets to see Matthew Powell, Deanna Doyle, Richard Glover, Lawrence Neuhauser, and Carlos Hopuy in World Premiere at MANHATTAN FILM FESTIVAL !
New York, NY: Filmmaker, choreographer, ballerina, and Scottish Dance champion, Laura Carruthers, leads world class performing artists in a stunning feature film memoir that travels the elements of her story on a breathtaking flight of dynamic choreography, cinematography, realization, and resolve. Grace Fury is the brainchild of Laura's fire and grace, cultivated over years of pioneering in the arts. As a bridge between dance theatre and autobiographical documentary, the film speaks both poetically and candidly to the challenges of building projects for film and stage, outside, between, and across domains – as a woman, shouldering her homage to the Classical and Scottish Highland dance traditions, yet bound to move hearts and minds to a new point of shared calling...of greater freedom and connection.
"...an autobiographical journey through dance, imagery, spoken word and the power of presence that redefines everything you've ever expected dance to be in a documentary...Thought provoking and freeing, immensely entertaining and trailblazing, Grace Fury is an absolute must see for connoisseurs of the arts and unique, compelling artistic expressions.
