artistic director of moz productions / b12 media supervisor
FRAMING MOTION
videodance is a complex artistic form that merges dance and cinema into a new ensemble. it is a powerful means of expression for makers who are fascinated by the fusion of different artistic disciplines and want to challenge themselves. how do we develop a videodance idea? how do we move from vision to action? how do we film motion or dance and compose for the camera? the main objectives of the workshop are the exchange of best practices, working from theory to practice on the triptych body-space-frame, and the development of flexible mechanisms of communication within teamwork. by the end of the workshop, all participants will have an overview of the creative production process (pre-production, shooting, post-production). they will enjoy screenings of different genres and techniques, explore the dynamics of motion behind the camera, experience non-theatrical shooting with professional dancers and practise constructive criticism. the workshop is open to dancers, choreographers, directors, camera operators, photographers, editors, sound designers, video designers, fine artists, scenographers, costume designers, architects and anyone who enjoys dance filmmaking. throughout the workshop, participants will work with professional dancers, in collaboration with b12 - festival for contemporary dance and performance art.
the description reflects an artist’s idea which was developed at the time it was submitted to b12. it may have changed by the time the workshop or the performance project is starting. please stay flexible. thank you!
