In  Episode 4, Festival Director Anne Morris interviews 3 more of the 20 choreographers selected to create a microdance (30-60 second dance film) for the NC Dance Festival\'s virtual season. We\'ll hear from Vania Claiborne about how this project required her to work in a different way than usual and how she ended up with a dance that she says \\u201cfeels like her.\\u201d Then, Anne talks to "choreography buddies" Michael Rank and Jiwon Ha about the warm and generous partnership they created in this process, and the ways history shows up in the present.
