Hey Dancers! This morning, I received an email from dancer Marissa Sher, one of my former classmates at Barnard, about a really cool summer workshop called "Partnering with Camera" taught by Jody Oberfelder. She provided their official press release which I have copy and pasted for you below. It seems like a really interesting workshop, so check it out!

Partnering with Camera - Physical and Visual Imagination

At Bearnstow on Parker Pond

Taught by Jody Oberfelder
August 10-16, 2008

This workshop will explore how the interaction of camera and movement creates kinetic imagery. We will create dance films that will explore the relationships between movement and visual elements. We will work with physical imagination, storyboarding, and hands-on camera work, finding an individual vocabulary. Each day will include a physical morning class, followed by afternoons developing studies for film: investigating site-specific locations and choreographing for the camera to find the unique language of dance and film. All levels of experience are welcome. Video cameras recommended.
