Location: Z-Lab at UC Berkeley
2200 University Ave,Berkeley,CA 94720
Teacher: Ben Estabrook
Time: 10-4pm
Cost: $350
Student discounts available–see registration page for details.

An enlightening workshop that investigates the relationship between the camera and the dancer.  Participants will analyze film clips and partake in a series of hands-on exercises throughout the week.  Discussions on strategies such as how to achieve a cinematic look in films, the importance of sound design, adapting a stage work for the camera, and why some types of dance work better on camera than others will also take place.

Participants will have the opportunity to create a screendance study, but will need to provide your own camera (DSLRs are welcome), however a finished project is not expected. Participants are also encouraged to bring their own work if they would like feedback. The recommended reading for the workshop is Making Video Dance by Katrina McPherson (this is not required).

Kinetic Cinema: “Dance on Camera Extended”

Kinetic Cinema’s Dance on Camera Extended program last Saturday, February 4th, was an intimate yet rich event. After the screening viewers conversed on the diversity in the six films shown that evening, as well as the wide array of films at the Dance on Camera Festival the weekend before. Why do we yearn for an element of surprise in modern dance?  How does a dance film weave in narrative and does it have to be a complete narrative? Is it important to know where a choreographer is from?  Does it change our perspective?  These were just some of the many questions debated.

Thank you to those, including dance film choreographer and director Jody Oberfelder, who came out to join and share their perspective.  As she eloquently said it is conversations like these that make the events so worth it!

Presented in conjunction with CRS and the Dance Films Association.

Come join us for our next Kinetic Cinema, The MerryMakers Make Movies featuring the vaudeville shenanigans and silent films of The MerryMakers at Fort Useless in Brooklyn on Sunday, February 26th at 7pm (doors open at 6:30)!

The International Video Dance Festival of Burgundy (France) announces a new call for works in preparation for its forth festival in May 2012.

Works will be selected by an international jury composed of professional artists and scholars involved in video dance.

The festival seeks video dance works less than 15 minutes in length for its official selection, which will be the featured event of the festival. Documentaries and live performance recordings are not accepted.
