Jengo’s Playhouse: The Usually Funny Dance-Films of Mitchell Rose

When wundergeezer Mitchell Rose presents The Usually Funny Dance-Films of Mitchell Rose, it’ll be more than just a frolic through the comic short dance-films spanning the oeuvre of the artiste, it’ll also be an opportunity to have kombucha and Raisinets. The screening is the convergence of the two lives of Mitchell Rose—a former choreographer, now a filmmaker whose offbeat short films have won 100+ awards. The films are manically funny, often poignant, and always surprising. First up in the program’s seven shorts is Deere John. A man and a 22-ton John Deere excavator dance a duet of discovery, fulfillment, and the problems that any diesel-based relationship will face. Another selection is the viral short Learn to Speak Body. With over 3 million views online, it’s a language instructional video… but for body language. Yes, in just a few easy lessons you too can learn to speak body just like Earthlings do.
