<h1>Performance on Camera</h1><h2>Facilitated by Rah Eleh</h2><h3>Hosted by FADO Performance Art Centre</h3><p>Performance on Camera investigates the intersections between performance art and the camera. It is a two-intensive workshop hosted by the performance and video artist Rah Eleh. During the first day of the workshop, attendees can expect to do a series of physical exercises that will focus on character development, exploration and physicality. The second day of the workshop will be a lecture about filmmaking techniques such as framing and lighting. </p><p>Workshop attendees will be given the opportunity to create their own video that will be screened at 401 Richmond in FADO's presentation and screening space at a later date (TBD). Attendees do not need any knowledge of performance or video production to attend, however a camera (phone or tablet cameras are acceptable) will be required for participation. Some knowledge of post-production editing is beneficial but not necessary. Attendees are welcome to explore a character they have previously developed or explore a new one. Participants will provide their own camera and any necessary materials (costumes, props, pen and paper are encouraged).  </p><p></p><p>About the workshop facilitator: </p><p>Rah Eleh is a video, net and performance artist.
