FRIDAY, Sept 12 / 11:00 — 14:00 / THE NATIONAL CENTER OF DANCE BUCHAREST

The video camera is not just a recording device, but a complex tool for linguistic experimentation through choreography and dance. Participants will be guided through a series of physical practices and theoretical discussion to train their observation on movements, exploring the concept of framing as a compositional and choreographic exercise, in order to understand the various possibilities and the dialogue between camera and dance.

The workshop is dedicated to dancers, performers, choreographers, theater and film directors, directors of photography, and visual artists who want to explore the dance film genre. Students from academies with a profile in dance, theater, film, and visual arts are also encouraged to participate.

Participation at the masterclass is free of charge. To reserve a spot, please fill the form beside by September 7.
