Dance On Screen
Dance on screen, dance on camera or dance video/film is not merely dance documentation on video. It is an art form or genre whereby dancers and choreographers collaborate with writers, producers and filmmakers to create fabulous narrative and experimental shorts, features, documentaries, stage adaptations or instructional programs (see Dance Film Association, New York, http://www.dancefilmsassn.org/index.html). This project focuses on the creation of fabulous narrative and experimental shorts.
