“Film explorations allow us a close up experience into the creative process and an opportunity to view dancers from a different prospective and simply enjoy dance as an expressive art form.” jb

“Born Forever” is an original dance piece with music inspired by Fame The Musical and its sequel Fame Forever. “Our creative spirit never really dies, and as the song says, maybe we really will live forever," said producer David De Silva the man known as "Father Fame" who conceived and produced the classic 1980 MGM film Fame and the two stage musicals inspired by it. "It certainly is something to dance about." The Father Fame Foundation’s mission is to interactively promote the value of theatre arts in education and in life.

Buglisi Dance Theatre has a special partnership with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis High School on West 46th Street located in the landmark building where the High School of the Performing Arts (The Fame School) existed until 1984. Buglisi is an alumna of the illustrious school.

BDT Dancers in film: So Young An and Jason Jordan; Lauren Jaeger and Junichi Fukuda; Katarzyna Skarpetowska and Kurt Douglas; Jeanene Winston and Changyong Sung; Anne O'Donnell; Stephanie van Dooren
