This 5 days intensive workshop offers a hand-on introduction to interactive techniques by showing examples of what Pd is capable of, with the possibility to train their newly acquired knowledge in a practical part.. The aim is to give the participants a strong background allowing them to start their own exploration of Pure-Data.

These projects will be created / chosen by the participants and should illustrate different types of interaction.

Physical Cinema - Tanz für die Kamera

with Lutz Gregor


W O R K S H O P:
26. - 30. October 2009
this workshop is canceled!

In this Video Dance Workshops we will work on both choreography and filmmaking
to create choreographies as physical stories told for the camera. In the first part of this workshop we will work on some basic exercises in visual perception and physical awarness as well as the synchronisation of movement and view to examine the relation
between the human eye and the camera. We will develop a camera work in which the camera doesn't watch the movement from outside but dances itself. This leads us into improvised shooting of improvised movement and later into precisely constructed shots of choreographed movement. The final product of everyone will be a plan-sequence of 2 min. of a choreographed movement
duet shot on location in Naples. We will discuss as well specific questions of ‘Video Dance’, such as inter-dependance of space
and movement style, narrative and non-linear dramaturgy, the dancer as actor. All the participants will move and shoot in front of and behind the camera. At the end we will present the results – videos and dances – in a public performance.
