FRAMING: A DIALOGUE B/W DANCE AND THE CAMERA
- In the frame of BIDFF #11 – Keep Calm and Keep on Moving
4 hr
Info
The video camera is not just a recording device, but is a complex tool for linguistic experimentation through choreography and dance. Participants will be guided through a series of physical practices and theoretical discussion to train their observation on movements, exploring the concept of framing as a compositional and choreographic exercise, in order to understand the various possibilities and the dialogue between camera and dance.
