SOLO IN ACTION WINTER

The Solo dance in the video format
CALL FOR PROPOSALS

SOLO IN ACTION is a committed approach to dancing that allows dancers to stretch their imagination by pushing movement and dance beyond all limits and expectations. The movement itself is what characterizes the dancer involved in his/her research, expanding the idea of a performance that is not necessarily fenced in by a fixed choreography or by a closed or blocked choreographed project, but which incorporates improvisation as an option.
Unlike its summer edition, based on live performances, the winter festival focusses on Solo dance through video language, inolving both performer and video maker. The videos will be included in a collective exhibition which will run for two weeks in February 2009 at Studio28 in Milan.
Requirements:

• estimated video lenght: maximum fifteen minutes.
• Format: DVD or MiniDV
• There are not restrictions on :
• themes
• shooting tecniques
• number of people involved in the project provided that the performer solo nature is clearly defined and remarked in the video.
