Screendance
About the Course
Supplies are included for all students in this elective.
Discover the fusion of dance and cinematic storytelling in this Screendance intensive. This 4-week intensive will investigate Screendance from a creative and theoretical perspective. To explore and discover the future of dance films, students will examine the shape-shifting genre of Screendance that emphasizes the choreographic shaping and framing of movement for film. Students will be encouraged to cultivate their own artistic vision by participating in movement and film-making practices by combining the expressive power of dance with the visual language of film. Students will collaborate with other dancers and filmmakers in learning camera operation, editing, and compositional skills that will culminate in creating unique Screendances.
While this intensive may be taken independently, it is an elective that is designed to work in conjunction with our Dance Intensive 4-week program. Please see that description here or email plus@cornish.edu if you have any questions.
