This subject expands upon the exploration of the building blocks of performance creation with a focus on screen-based approaches and skills. Practical studio-based classes provide interaction with other disciplines to develop communication and collaborative abilities and a familiarity with other approaches to the processes of artistic composition.
With an emphasis on dance on screen the subject provides an introduction to dance on screen works of the 20th and 21st century, practical and theoretical investigation into the incorporation of space and design in the creation of dance screen work, exploring notion of dance, movement, design and camera. Students are mentored through the development and realisation of a short dance on screen work building practical skills and experience of the processes and elements required, including roles & responsibilities, camera techniques, editing software, storyboard, phrasing using dance and the camera. Students choreograph, perform and crew in small teams to realise a short dance on screen project.
