Moment by Katrina McPherson

The University of Utah’s Departments of Modern Dance and Film and Media Arts are offering two opportunities to work with award-winning Scottish dance filmmaker, Katrina McPherson, in her first American residencies. Set in the beautiful mountain city of Salt Lake this two-week workshop offers in-depth experience for choreographers and filmmakers in shooting and editing dance for the camera. Ms. McPherson will hold screenings, discussions, demonstrations, and will oversee the creation of screendance studies by each participant. Editing facilities and personnel will be available, as will dancers for choreographic projects.

Weekend Workshop: September 15 – 17 — Weeklong Intensive Workshop: September 19 – 24

An evening of student works will be presented on Thursday, September 15, 2011 in conjunction with the International Dance for the Camera Festival.

In ”enchantress,” Turkish filmmaker Volkan Ergen creates a mysterious, otherworldly landscape, submerging us as voyeurs in a secret ritual. Watch for magical duplicity, fractured movements, layered apparitions, and shifting focus. Enjoy!

Today’s video is from SALTS, a collaborative platform for Icelandic artist Ingi Jensson and German choreographer Heike Salze. strönd/strand is one of several site-specific dance films that were presented earlier this month as the installation project bekkur/bænk. I love this dance for its play with textures and detail–the grass and Saga Sigurðardóttir’s hair seem to do as much dancing as the dancers themselves.

This week’s featured video is “in the kitchen” by Alice Gosti. Although this is a single-shot, single-angle dance short, I find the use of private space in a public (at least online) performance to be quite compelling. “in the kitchen” is a great example of low-budget, spur-of-the-moment, improvisational videodance and is also one of several video posts in an ongoing webdance conversation called You’re Right Here. Visit the blog for the rest of the dialogue!
