Children of Spring:(12 Minutes) Directed and filmed by Mark Sadan
in the early 1970's working with all the local dance companies from grade school
through local colleges. This film was inspired by the relief sculptural work of
Luca Della Robbia from the middle ages and the Bacchanalle and rites of Spring
with the figure of Pan or Bacchus in the ancient mythology.
This was filmed on location at the Rockefeller Estate in Pocantico Hills,
New York. Just after Sadan finished Film school at New York University, while he
was developing short films for Sesame Street. Many of the local dance schools, and
dance teachers participated.
Prelude to the Dance:(9 Minutes) Filmed in the upper dance studio of the Harkness Ballet
with Kate Antrubus just before she was to leave to join a dance company in Europe. Inspired by the
music of Paul Horn in the Taj Mahal. It is a meditation on the beauty of the dancer warming up before
the dance.
Tear of the Clouds:(12 Minutes) Music by Frank Loch. A dance integrated and inspired by the
photographic collaboration between Rebecca Kelly and Mark Sadan. Photography took place over 3 days
in the forests of Lake Placid. The performance is about the death of trees from acid rain in which
the dancers portray the spirit of the trees.
Children of the Earth:(14 Minutes) A video of the photographs upon which the dance "Tears of
the Clouds" was designed and choreographed by Rebecca Kelly.
Whispers:(18 Minutes) A film collaboration between Mark Sadan and the reknown modern dancer/
choreographer Jeanette Stoner when Sadan was an experimental film maker and Jeanette Stoner was still dancing
with the Alvin Ailey Dance Company. Also features Lulu Santangelo.
Cycle of Life:(12 Minutes) The award winning film of the sculptures of Gustave Vigeland at
the Frogner Park in Oslo, Norway and in the Vigeland Museum. This film is only of the sculptures of
Vigeland and Norwegian music of his time, including David Monrad Johansen, Hege and Edvard Grieg.
Featured at the New York Film Festival, the fusion of music and form is choreographic in style
giving a sense of breath and movement to the sculptures which touch on every aspect of life from childhood to old age, to death
and transfiguration.
Dance/Sadan:(18 Minutes) A documentary including the first opening of the dance photo retrospective of Sadan's
work from the past 21 years as seen at the National Museum of Dance in Saratoga Springs, 2000-2002. Introduction
by Madeline Nichols, director and curator of the dance collection of the New York Public Library at Lincoln
Center for the Performing Arts.
