CHANGE OF (S)PACE: SITE-SPECIFIC MOVEMENT FOR DANCE FILMMAKING

Dance Filmmaking Courtesy 92Y

We’re Tik Tok’ing, we’re Instagramming… we’ve become extremely well-acquainted with both the spaces we're occupying and our mobile recording devices. So step up your dance film game! Get the skills and techniques to merge your space and device into a site-specific, movement-inspired mobile dance film in this online course. Alter the space around you through movement and capture it as a meaningful documentation of a newfound creative process.

No movement or filmmaking experience is necessary.

Each week, we hold an online meeting to discuss the goals of the week and what needs to be prepared and accomplished, going over any questions you may have. Throughout the week the instructor checks via email or Zoom.

Week One: Movement Generation
Week Two: Filming
Week Three: Editing
Week Four: Share

Instructor Andrew Chapman is a performer with site-specific and immersive theater company Third Rail Projects as a current cast member of their critically acclaimed show Then She Fell. Andrew is also the founding producer of the 92Y Mobile Dance Film Festival ; the first and only film festival to screen dance film shot solely on mobile devices.

In a banner with text that reads: Dark Room Ballet Collegium 2025, there are 5 small images of each instructor: Shannon crouches on the floor holding a microphone with neon yellow/green tulle draped across their body and smushing their face. They speak/sing into the microphone with their eyes closed. * Hannah stands on a large rock in a mountain meadow, surrounded by wildflowers and tall pine trees. She stands with her left leg held straight and supporting her, while her right leg is lifted high to the side, nearly horizontal. Her left arm curves overhead, and her right arm stretches toward her raised foot, creating a diagonal line across her body. She wears leggings, a short-sleeve shirt, trail shoes, and sunglasses, with her hair in two braids. The sky is clear, and snow-capped mountains are visible in the distance. * A headshot photo of Davian
