All films are choreographed, rehearsed, and filmed in public spaces ruled by a strict manifesto - all are done in one take, using only natural light - the results providing a uniquely personal, interactive experience for the viewer, evoking a feeling of nostalgia for the old-time penny arcades.

Master Class - Unexpected Encounters - Dance/Video/Improvisation
Master Class with screendance artists Katrina McPherson and Simon Fildes

Conducted in English

This intensive course is open for those interested in exploring the creative interface between improvised dance & video dance practice. Each session starts with exercises to awaken the body, and then proceeds to focused practical sessions on in-camera editing facilitated by Katrina or Simon, looking at different issues for dancing and filming, using improvisation as the primary creative method. They will also explore the ways in which improvisation can be used to generate video dance material and how camera techniques can capture certain characteristics of dance performances: spontaneity, energy, presence, how it connects to an audience. Participants are expected to have some experience of filming.
