Risa

Overview

In this film portrait we look intimately at renowned dancer and master-teacher, Risa Steinberg, in her New York City apartment as she reflects on her prolific and ongoing lifetime in the dance world. Risa’s enormous depth of experience as a celebrated modern dancer, master-teacher and coach to contemporary choreographers brings a power and presence to the film, as well as her self-awareness in reckoning with her life as an artist. All artists make tough choices, especially those who are singularly high-achieving. Risa shares an inner world in this portrait that is human, vulnerable and profoundly honest.
