Julia and Joyce (61min), Trinidad and Tobago
"Julia and Joyce: Two Stories of Two Dance Pioneers" 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. 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 who have come after them.
