Legitimacy ScoreOverview
The Experimental Series - Salt Lake City (EXPS/SLC) was a monthly screening series hosted by the University of Utah's School of Dance from 2022 to 2024. It focused on alternative interpretations of screendance, highlighting conceptual and structural experimentation rather than traditional narrative forms. The series aimed to connect students, faculty, and the community through cinema, offering free submissions and showcasing works by women, queer, non-binary, and disabled creators rooted in experimental approaches to movement, dance, choreography, and the body [dance.utah.edu, expcinema.org].
