THE DANCES OF ED MOCK

Ed Mock [the late San Francisco dancer, teacher, and choreographer] is the missing choreographic link between Alvin Ailey, Anna Halprin, and Bill T. Jones. He is my direct predecessor, creatively. We—artists, black queers, Bay Area dancers, gay men—have to extract our collective past and create the historical record.” — Brontez Purnell

Dirty Looks On Location premieres UNSTOPPABLE FEAT—THE DANCES OF ED MOCK, the debut feature film by artist, choreographer, punk musician, and writer Brontez Purnell.
