Dance Film: Documentary Aesthetics in Dance-Moving Image Practice

This course combines theoretical inquiries with production experiences to explore the intersection of documentary aesthetics and dance filmmaking. Students will be exposed to both choreographers and filmmakers working in various cultural contexts. They will also take part in the investigation and experimentation of dance-moving image practices that incorporate documentary elements through a series of hands-on activities and exercises. Prior experience and knowledge in dance and video production is helpful but not required.
