In this episode, we are highlighting the wonderful Jennifer Scully-Thurston, also known as Rogue Dancer. Frameform listeners may already know this friend of the podcast and fellow panelist at last year’s Screendance Symposium. Enjoy this conversation with Scully and Jen Ray including experiences producing festivals online and in person, creative approaches to curation and the pursuit of solutions instead of obstacles.
Jennifer Scully-Thurston (Scully) is a choreographer, dance filmmaker, curator, journalist, and video installation artist. She is founder and director of FilmFest by Rogue Dancer, a monthly thematic on-line event devoted to dance. She has curated and adjudicated for EnCore: Dance on Film, James River Film Festival, and Screen Dance International.
Her dance films have been featured in Core Dance presents… REEL ART (commission), ADF Movies by Movers, Golden Earth Film Award (Best Female Director 2021), Direct Monthly Online Film Festival (Best Female Director 2019), DepicT! (Special Mention), and numerous other prestigious international festivals. She has been an administrator with Grasshorse (character animation studio), HOU & ATL Core Dance (performance company), and NC Arts in Action (in-school public dance program) and is currently Manager of Studio Programs and Community Engagement at the American Dance Festival.
More about Rogue Dancer: We believe dance exists outside the walls of a proscenium stage. It can exist in the wild with mischievous playfulness. A person or organization can create work anywhere that wanders and behaves in unusual ways. The creation and presentation of Dance Film is a great representation of these ideas. We are dancers who have gone off grid to create work in our own way, with our own rules.
