Intermediate/Advanced Dance II: Dance for the Camera

This course will involve concentrated intermediate-advanced level work in contemporary dance technique and choreography specifically designed for the frame of the camera. In this course we will explore how to best capture and edit dance on video. We will exercise and refine our visual sensibility through the exploration of basic digital editing techniques and mastery of fundamental camera mechanics. Texts, written work, and regular practice will focus on the creative process in dance and film making. This will culminate in a screening/performance at the end of the semester.
