Call to Choreographers!
|
|
WHAT Barefoot Collective is proud to produce a series of Dance Film concerts throughout the greater Tacoma area. This production will showcase a diverse group of choreographers as they share their artistic voices in the post-coronavirus world. These digital works will premiere in the month of October through an online watch party and at various locations in Tacoma and Pierce County. |
More about Dance Film from Deirdre Towers: (full article here)
“Purely speaking, a dance film is one in which dance and film/video are both integral to a work. This simple definition separates dance films from archival records of stage or site specific dance compositions. The makers of dance films consider the placement and movement of the camera, the lighting, the balance of foreground and background, and the composition within the framing of each shot in the overall choreography. A dance film can take many forms: documentary, dance designed for the camera (cine dance or screen dance), a screen adaptation of a stage work, animation, or kinetic abstraction.
The structure for a dance for the camera, otherwise known as a cine dance or screen dance, may be driven by a kinetic or visual design concept, poetry or narrative, imagery from reality or dreams, traditional or idiosyncratic musical forms. The intention may be to produce what cannot be conceived in a live performance or to stretch and condense a multi-media form.”
WHO
All artists who work with movement and performance are invited to apply. All genres, forms, modalities, and varieties of dance, movement, and performance will be considered. Barefoot Collective seeks to make space for the work of artists whose voices have been traditionally marginalized and underrepresented in the dance world.
In an effort to grow and support the dance community in our city, we are seeking proposed Dance Film works from artists based in the greater Tacoma area. Artists located outside of Pierce County are welcome to apply, provided they are willing to work with dancers in the Tacoma area. Barefoot Collective has a community of dancers eager to participate in a dance film project and can assist in connecting you with those artists.
