Waiting Places

Directed by Bobbi Jene Smith, Or Schraiber

Five bodies share a room, bound by the act of waiting — each for a different longing. This dance-driven film explores the intersection of time, desire, and connection.

Experience the highly anticipated theatrical premiere of Waiting Places, the newest film from dance luminaries Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber. Adapted from a live piece of the same name, this dance film explores the intersection of time, desire, and connection as five individuals inhabit a room, bound by the act of waiting. Immediately following the screening, Smith, Schraiber, and dancer Jeremy Coachman (LA Dance Project) will perform excerpts from two powerful works: an emotionally-charged solo from Seasons of Dance set to Max Richter’s reimagining of “Vivaldi, The New Four Seasons”, and a dynamic duet from The Cello Player which excavates the complexity of ancient relationships.
