Mixing... DanceMediaSpaces

Mixing dance and media in new spaces is a rejuvenating way to approach expressions of human dramas in relation to self, space, and narrative through movement. Last semester, I took a course called Dance on Camera, taught by Betty Jenkins. In this class, I learned about this interdisplinary medium, and I experimented with filming dance movements in non-traditional spaces (e.g. not a stage). Dance is always about something whether its simply liberating your soul, communicating emotions or telling a story.

Every year the Dance Film Association has a well-known Dance on Camera festival. Check out this year's festival and read about the various narratives dance can unfold in all kinds of environments.
