Sunday, September 10, from la 14:00
at GOOD MOOD DANCE STUDIO

Co-organised by PlayHood - Asociația Ferentari
In partnership with Good Mood Dance Studio

The (cine)dance workshop for teenagers offers an introduction to the world of dance film through a mix of practical, individual and collaborative exercises designed to encourage exploration and facilitate understanding of the means of artistic expression. Participants will watch a selection of international short films, discuss their form and the techniques used, and have the opportunity to film their own works in collaborative teams.

What is the difference in perception between filmed and directly observed movement? Can we capture what the performers are conveying, and not just documenting the choreography? What story do we want to tell? What are the ways through which the camera transforms from intermediary to performer? How do we choreograph movement in order for it to be filmed?

Starting with the observation and analysis of works from international artists, which illustrate different approaches to filming the movement and the poetics of this language, we will explore the possibilities offered by the camera, while trying to capture the characteristics of movement: energy, dynamics, expressiveness and the ways of connecting with the audience, in a context that encourages teamwork, as in a micro-community with a common goal.
