An introduction to digital video technology in dance, the course introduces the technical and creative skills required to compose and distribute dance for the camera.  This is a hands-on course emphasizing the fundamental elements of video production, editing and dissemination. You will gain experience scripting, storyboarding, shooting, and editing; and investigate ways in which the medium can intersect with the commercial and artistic markets. This course considers that anytime dance is specifically crafted for viewing on a screen it is inherently site-specific. To that end, all choreography is developed for the locations of shooting, both interiors and exteriors.  We are always “on location.”  A primary emphasis is on the choreographic content itself, its originality/innovation, intentionality, expression, and its suitability for the medium and the particular assignment. A series of video projects will be made, culminating in a final project.  An open screening will feature work developed in the course. CRN: 41010
