Water Flowing Together
Director: Gwendolen Cates
Showing: May 30, 8pm, Saint Anthony’s

“Dance: An art which takes the longest to perfect and is the shortest in lifespan.” Water Flowing Together is the story of Jock Soto, half Navajo Indian, half Puerto Rican, transplanted through his love of dance from a reservation in the Southwest to Manhattan, where he rose to stardom as the Golden Boy of the New York City Ballet. In a sensitive depiction of the way our lives inevitably change, the film relates Jock’s transition to a new phase of his life after a career of constant physical discipline and achievement. Incredibly gorgeous dance photography – not to be missed by anyone with a love of the arts and human grace.
