Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Sometimes inspiration can be found in unexpected places. Choreographer Allison Orr finds beauty and grace in garbage trucks, and in the men and women who pick up our trash. Filmmaker Andrew Garrison follows Orr as she joins city sanitation workers on their daily routes to listen, learn, and ultimately to convince them to collaborate in a unique dance performance. Hard working, often carrying a second job, their lives are already full with work, family and dreams of their own. But some step forward, and after months of rehearsal, two dozen trash collectors and their trucks perform an extraordinary spectacle. On an abandoned airport runway, thousands of people show up to see how in the world a garbage truck can "dance.
Leave your thoughts about Trash Dance.
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferWarm, delightful and poignant. You'll never look at a garbage collector the same way again. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayThat Garrison has created such a vibrant, moving document of such an evanescent state of grace is a small miracle in itself. |
| Austin American-StatesmanJeanne Claire van RyzinGarrison's thoughtful, eloquent documentary illuminates the reality that all work matters and has dignity, no matter the invisibility of the labor. |
| User ReviewAustin CQuite simply, this movie has got it all. You couldn't script the real-life stories of characters in a fictional movie and get anywhere close to the true emotion of the men and women who make this documentary work. Forklift Danceworks' efforts in the City of Austin to incorporate everyday movement and everyday people into "modern dance" has been nothing short of a industry-shaking revelation. Director Andrew Garrison captured the people, the practice, and the performance incredibly. |
| User Reviewc0up 'Trash Dance'. Truly emotional and uplifting in telling the stories of people whose profession goes severely under appreciated. |
| User ReviewNatalie MA wonderful film documenting the choreographer Allison Orr's creation of a dance in Texas featuring trash workers as the performers. Enlightening and uplifting. My only complaint was that it could have been cut down slightly in the middle. |
| User ReviewAlex CEntertaining and interesting. I only wish there was more about the lives of the workers and a bit less about the dance at the end. |
