Intensive Hands-on Workshop on Screendance at
CalArts by Silvina Szperling This workshop
attempts to open a door, and a channel for
dialogue between practice and theories in
Video-dance. Departing from perceptual
development exercises, and several practices in
small groups, we'll try to offer and generate
particular visions that allow and encourage the
development of creative and personal proposals.
We'll stimulate the interdisciplinary and
collaborative work, taking the Rodrigo Alonso's
hypothesis "What could video-dance be, other than
a casual encounter, the product of the curious
bonding between one of the oldest form of
expression and one of the most contemporary ones;
the unsuspected result of the common ground of
one medium incarnated the materiality of the with
a medium de-corporized, abstract, almost
inhuman?" Participants: artists and students in
Dance, Film, Theatre, Music, Visual Arts and Arts
in general. Please, bring your own camera or
devise with moving images recording capabilities
of any kind. Projection of Dance Francesca
Penzani Interim Week 2 A playful collaborative
laboratory open to the Institute. We will work
with multimedia performance, focusing on
projection and processing of live video using
Isadora, qlab. We will play with camera set-ups,
experimenting on creating footage for
performances (like the DAM exhibition) and/or
working with footage generated by "Impossible
Dance1" from week 1. We will also be covering
some basics of live music production using
Ableton and Logic Pro. The aim is to provide a
space that caters to the collaborative process
that will ultimately demystify multimedia-dance
performance. Participants: artists and students
in Dance, Film, theatre, Music, Visual Arts and
Arts in general. Please, bring your own camera or
devise with moving images recording capabilities
of any kind.
