FAMS 264 Screendance

Screendance — also known cinedance, dance on film or dance-film — is a hybrid, mediated form, a duet between choreography and cinema situated at the nexus of “fleeting” movement and the careful curation of sound, images and effects delivered on screen. Using personal media devices, students combine the kinesthetic energy of choreographic movement and technologies of film form such as greenscreen, cinematography, editing and lighting specific for moving bodies to make several short studies and collaboratively produce a movement piece for a final project.
