Depicting the genocide in Indonesia in 1965 from the point of view of the perpetrators, “The Act of Killing” has caused an uproar in Indonesia and the West. “If you want to understand where genocide comes from, you have to find out what drives the perpetrators,” says Signe Byrge Sørensen, the film’s Danish producer.

Bradley Shelver started dancing when he was four. He left his home in South Africa when he was 18 and got a scholarship for the Alvin Ailey School in New York. He has now lived and danced in New York for 15 years and can’t imagine going back. When Apartheid ended, the new government cancelled all funding for ballet and opera because they considered it elitist. That’s a shame, says Bradley. Art shouldn’t be for only one group of people.
Bradley likes to divide his time between peforming, creating and teaching. He loves the moment when a student has a breakthrough, and their eyes light up.
Bradley has always been a natural performer. He loves to express emotions without saying anything. He says that a dancer’s main goal is to connect with the audience by showing what it’s like to be human. That can be hard because dancers are always trying to be perfect. But you have to let it go. Stop thinking, and just do it.
“Screw what you look like, and screw the steps,” he tells his student. “You have 2 minutes and 24 seconds to make the audience care about you. That’s what dance is about.”
