Screendance workshop: rituals and onirism

This workshop is for dancers, performers, choreographers and audiovisual artists interested in exploring the creative possibilities of screendance and its hybrid forms in sensitive resonance with the body and the moving camera.

Description

In this two-hour online workshop we will practice screendance as medium of rituals and onirism. We will work the dreamlike imagination that has the human body and movement in relation with the camera as a duet, as pas de deux. We will do site specific practices to expand our imagination concentrating on perception, exploring the interrelationships and compositions body-movement- gaze-space-camera-sound-time-rhythm and the screen, generating an expanding playful, sensitive and poetic choreographic space in resonance with the audiovisual language. How can we move with the camera as an extension and expansion of our body? How can gestures and daily spaces become material to be integrated into a screendance work?
