SUMMARY:Call for Short Films: Cinema Touching Disability Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Submission deadline: August 2\, 2019* \nThe Cinema Touching Disability Film Festival dispels common misperceptions about disability by showing films that portray people with disabilities in an accurate and interesting way. The selected films show that individuals with disabilities live the same sort of full and independent lives as all other people. Submit your film here! \nThe short film competition is an essential part of this festival. This competition invites filmmakers to share their personal views of disability through a short film. The films with the most imaginative and interesting portrayals of people with disabilities will be featured at Cinema Touching Disability. The three best films will also win a cash prize and an award certificate. \nSubmissions are welcome from all filmmakers\, ranging from the professional to the independent\, student\, or amateur. The filmmaker may also be of any age\, ranging from elementary school student to adult. Entries are welcome from filmmakers who have a disability. This does not mean that you are required to have a disability to submit. \nFilms may be entered in either the documentary or non-documentary division.

Past winners have included comedy\, music video\, animation\, science fiction\, horror\, and even silent films \nThe following prizes are awarded in each division: \n• First Place: $500 USD\n• Second Place: $250 USD\n• Third Place: $100 USD\n• Selected finalists will also be screened \nThe top three winning films in each division will be featured at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin\, Texas during the Cinema Touching Disability Film Festival.

SUMMARY:Body Shift Foundations Class
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to get your body moving\, but don’t know where to begin? Are you intimidated by typical dance classes because you feel like you don’t fit in? Body Shift has a solution to bring out the dancer in us all! We offer you Foundations – an improvisational dance class for ALL people – especially designed to be accessible to those with little to no dance/movement experience. \nEach class we will explore ideas like developing body awareness\, non-verbal communication\, understanding of time/rhythm and choice making to support students in the discovery of their own movement language. Students will have the opportunity to awaken their creativity\, notice habitual movement patterns in order to expand movement possibilities\, and have a lot of fun in the process. We will learn how to allow our bodies to breath and move in ways that feel good to each person in the room without judgement. \nPeople of all unique mental and physical characteristics are invited to participate. Our goal is to offer a class where there are no wrong choices so everyone in the room feels empowered and successful to come and be as they are. Material in this class will be strongly based on the DanceAbility method\, an approach to dance for people with and without disabilities. No movement experience necessary to join. Drop in occasionally or join us every month; open ended attendance. \nThe Foundations class takes place at McBeth Recreation Center (2401 Columbus Dr\, Austin\, TX 78746) every 3rd Monday of the month from 7:00-8:30pm. Sliding scale/donation based – $5-$20. Adults age 18 and up. \nNEW! You can now pay class fees online here. \nFor more information email Olivia O’Hare or call 512-454-9912.
