Sunday, September 10, From 10:00
AT THE NATIONAL CENTER OF DANCE BUCHAREST

Supported by Goethe Institut

During this practical masterclass participants are invited to explore the Wanderlust method, a site-specific holistic approach for the making of landscape screendance. Embarking on a site journey, we will be wandering with a camera and discover the joyful mode of making screendance by entering a dialogue with the environment, facilitating the spontaneous trialogue between the site – dance – camera. By exploring scores such as wandering together, listening and sensing place, and site specific screendance performance, we will encounter the unforeseen and capture atmospheres and rhythms through movement and camera by ‘being-in-place’ together.
