JULIA and JOYCE
by Sonja Dumas
Documentary Feature
T&T | 2010

Story: The dance history of Trinidad and Tobago often remains in the memories of those who executed it, and when they pass on, there is precious little left behind. This documentary looks at aspects of the Trinidad and Tobago dance world and its local and global impact through the eyes of two local dance legends - Julia Edwards and Joyce Kirton. These two women, now in their seventies, have collectively contributed over 110 years of dedicated, pioneering work to the dance community of Trinidad and Tobago. Between them, they have been instrumental in the preservation of and innovation in countless traditional dance forms, and their commitment to dance is echoed in the accomplishments of the many dancers and choreographers of the generations that have come after them.

The film will be preceded by a short film from the same filmmaker ...
