In conversation with Graham Clayton-Chance and excerpt of film Last Dance at the Sundance Stompede | 3.00-4.30pm

In November 2023, over 800 people from around the globe gathered in San Francisco for the Sundance Stompede, an LGBT+ country-western dance weekend that has been a cornerstone of queer culture for 27 years.  

Last Dance at the Sundance Stompede documents this historic weekend, as the community prepare to say goodbye to their beloved event. A heartfelt exploration of community and joy and the transformative impact of dance as a vehicle for self-expression, healing, and empowerment. 

Join Director Graham Clayton-Chance as he presents excerpts from the film interwoven with a talk about making the film and insights into the themes of the work followed by a Q&A. 

Graham Clayton-Chance presents a special installation of his film Last Dance at the Sundance Stompede. Drop in throughout the day in North Space.
