3 workshops designed to allow dancers to explore how the technology and history of the camera and editing can help express, communicate, expand and create new grounds for their dance practice.

Practical exercices, guided experimentation and technical tips will aim to give dancers the basic tools and understanding to start making competent and engaging video work for communication purposes. Further the workshop will open new possibilities for experimental, artistic research work around dance and media – contextualised and enriched by historical and theoretical approaches.

All dancing techniques and levels are welcome. However, it is preferable that participants feel comfortable with a relative level of autonomy in their practice and a desire to experiment.

These workshops are technologically accessible, encouraging use of anything from a smartphone to DSLR and personal cameras.
