DFTC 2010 is a unique
opportunity for established and emerging choreographers, filmmakers, videographers,
dancers and visual artists to explore dance/movement for the camera under
the mentorship of award winning choreographer, filmmaker, curator, educator
and recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship (2006), Ellen
Bromberg.
PROGRAM
DFTC’s participants are individually assisted while exploring the technical, practical and artistic challenges involved in producing a dance/movement video in a supportive and collaborative environment.
Exercises with camera and dance are explored before diving into your finale video project
Daily screenings of contemporary dance films representing the cutting edge of DFTC are followed by discussions.
Screenings of your video project/s in progress are followed by critical feedback to assist you in bringing your final video project to a public screening on the last day of the DFTC program.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
