BIDFF is inviting you to attend a practical dance film workshop coordinated by Chrysanthi Badeka, dancer, filmmaker and curator of different international screendance festivals. The workshop is aimed towards professionals from dance and film industries, visual artists, performance artists, theatre directors and digital art practitioners.

In order to register you have to fill in the participation form by not later than August 23rd. The selected participants (maximum 15) will be notified by August 28th.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

In a world where we are confronting every day profound critical challenges, it is essential to re-consider more than ever what is the power of the body on screen.

At a time of social transformation, how do we move the audience with our work? How do we frame the stories of a moving body? How do we envision the future of dances on screen?

During the workshop we will explore dance film making as a practice for interdisciplinary artistic development. By using transmedia ways of reflection and composition, we will work altogether and in small groups exploring content, aesthetics, choreography for the camera, non-theatrical shooting, storyboarding, writing and teamwork communication.

The workshop aims to create fruitful fermentations between professionals from different artistic disciplines, focusing on new dance film utopias and peer-to-peer education.
