Room to Move
Room to Move follows acclaimed choreographer, performer, and educator Jenn Freeman as she navigates a profoundly transformative chapter: receiving an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis at age 33. A respected force in the contemporary dance world, Freeman built a thriving career through precision, artistry, and discipline. Privately, however, she managed a lifetime of sensory overload, social friction, pain, and unspoken questions about her experience of the world. What starts as a portrait of an artist gradually unfolds into a deeper, more intimate exploration — a reflection on identity, expression, and the quest for clarity amid the noise of the world.
Preceded by the fiction short OK/NOTOK. A Q&A with director, producer, and subject Alexander Hammer (M.A., film and television, 2006) immediately follows the screening.
