CHANGE OF (S)PACE: SITE-SPECIFIC MOVEMENT FOR DANCE FILMMAKING

Dance Filmmaking Courtesy 92Y

We’re Tik Tok’ing, we’re Instagramming… we’ve become extremely well-acquainted with both the spaces we're occupying and our mobile recording devices. So step up your dance film game! Get the skills and techniques to merge your space and device into a site-specific, movement-inspired mobile dance film in this online course. Alter the space around you through movement and capture it as a meaningful documentation of a newfound creative process.

No movement or filmmaking experience is necessary.

Each week, we hold an online meeting to discuss the goals of the week and what needs to be prepared and accomplished, going over any questions you may have. Throughout the week the instructor checks via email or Zoom.

Week One: Movement Generation
Week Two: Filming
Week Three: Editing
Week Four: Share

Instructor Andrew Chapman is a performer with site-specific and immersive theater company Third Rail Projects as a current cast member of their critically acclaimed show Then She Fell. Andrew is also the founding producer of the 92Y Mobile Dance Film Festival ; the first and only film festival to screen dance film shot solely on mobile devices.

A dancer in a black tutu and leotard and pointe shoes stands on one leg, with the other leg extended behind the body in a straight line. One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg. The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
