Join us for the inaugural Dance (Lens) Scratch Night!

Dancehouse is delighted to invite screendance makers and enthusiasts to a special informal event to share screendance rushes, first cuts, scores, and experiments of new works in development and receive feedback from fellow artists and audiences.

Scratch Night will offer two sessions with artists showing no more than 6 minutes of screening material/ rushes/ cuts or drafts.

Each session is hosted by resident Dance (Lens) leaders and screendance-makers Siobhan Murphy and Cobie Orger.

— Session 1: 4-5.30pm hosted by Siobhan Murphy
With Scratch offers from: Elena Osalde, Gabrielle Leah New, Bronwen Kamasz, Maggie Madfox Chen, and Jonathan Sinatra

— Session 2: 6-7.30pm hosted by Cobie Orger
With Scratch offers from: Youth Dance Maker’s Initiative, Anna White and Angeline Nicole, Shelley O’Meara, Gretel Taylor and Katrina Rank

Attendance at the inaugural Dance (Lens) Scratch Night is FREE — please book your spot.

And yes, the bar will be open.

What happens at Scratch Night?

Each session is 90 minutes and will feature 4-5 ‘scratch’ screenings of works in progress through a set format.

Following a short introduction for each session, the host will invite the dance-filmmaker/s to present what they’re showing for 2 minutes and to identify what sort of feedback they are seeking. Following the maximum 6 minute screening, the host facilitates a 10 minute discussion for feedback.

There are up to 10 “Scratch” sharing opportunities across the two sessions. Participation is free for artists sharing their works. Expressions of interest have now closed and selected works for Scratch Night will be announced on Monday 18 November.
