Jitterbugs: Pioneers of the Jit

MOCAD and Freep Film Festival present
Jitterbugs: Pioneers of the Jit
with Detroit Overture
Friday, March 20, 8pm
Admission: $10

The origins of the distinctive Detroit dance known as the Jit are explored in Jitterbugs: Pioneers of the Jit (2014), a feature-length documentary by dancer-director Haleem "Stringz" Rasul. Elements of street dancing, Motown, acrobatics, and hip-hop meld in this quick-moving form, birthed in the late '70s by Detroit's McGhee brothers, who led a dance group known as the Jitterbugs. The film shows the McGhees' rise and strugglesand how their influence continues to resonate.

Preceded by Vienna-based filmmaker Lisa Kortschak's short, Detroit Overture (2015).
