Alistair Schneider is a film and video artist whose work currently focuses on translating experimental dance and theater to film. As the son of two professional dancers and former actor in his own right, Alistair has retained his lifelong interests in the expressive capability of the body and narrative storytelling. He began a formal study of dance/theater while pursuing an
MFA in Film/Video, where he introduced heightened physicality and narratives centering on human relationships into his film work. With his dance/film, “Exhibits” (2006), Alistair used actor-created movement sequences to convey the emotional narrative of the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. For his next dance/film, Alistair stepped back into the familiar performer’s role
to collaboratively generate movement. These efforts resulted in the creation of a dance/theater work that he later translated into a dance/film of the same name, Yuri and Winnie (2007). Additional recent film works include: an original dance/film “Two” (2002), a film version of dance/theater work “Circle Course” (2005), and a rehearsal and performance documentary of Richard Foreman’s “What to Wear” (2006). Alistair’s films have screened in Boston, Los Angeles, and at the New York Video Festival at Lincoln Center. Alistair received his BFA in Film/Video from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2002 and his MFA in Film/Video from California Institute of the Arts in 2007.
