A DANCE FILM WORKSHOP
MAY 14 Thursday 6-9:30 PM
MAY 16 Saturday 9 AM-5 PM
MAY 17 Sunday 9 AM-5 PM
Most dance films try to film dance that is choreographed for stage. This presents inherent creative challenges: film cuts the world into shots from many angles; dance-on-stage is performed as a continuum from one angle. How can the two be successfully brought together into a truly hybrid and dynamic form? This workshop for filmmakers of all genres, and for choreographers and dancers with an interest in integrating film into their work, helps participants to digest and experiment with the components and methods which offer creative solutions: camera angles and movements, non-stage locations, re-choreography into fragments with “sticky ends,” superimposition and more. Film clips illustrating critical concepts (including the instructor’s own work) will be screened and discussed prior to considerable hands-on practice with camera and lights in a studio where dance performer Linda K. Johnson will serve as on-camera performer. Appropriate for filmmakers and dancers of all levels. Documentary and fiction film directors are especially encouraged, as the dance film genre presents the opportunity to strengthen compositional skills around structure, texture and movement, in an environment where plot, dialog, and rhetoric are not the main repertoire. Equipment provided. 3 Sessions.

WE LIVE WITHIN AN UNSTABLE LANDSCAPE
This is a social networking website connecting people concerned about innovation and experimentation on art, dance, embodiment, cognition, science, networks, post-humanism, media and the unstable landscape of contemporary culture and life.
We are in a transitional phase and refocusing the network with a broader interdisciplinary framework. It will reflect a contemporary community interacting and embedded unstablelandscape.
This network is maintained and administrated by Marlon Barrios Solano as an independent art/curatorial/social innovation project.
