Join us for our popular forum for artists, hosted by Simon Fildes (University of Dundee). This is a chance to discuss the issues relevant to screen dance as well as an opportunity to learn from and network with fellow artists.
The events guest speaker is Lucy Cash, screen dance artist and South East Dance Fellow 2009. Lucy Cash and Simon Fildes will explore the idea of narrative in relation to non-fiction and fiction works. Through an informal conversation different approaches to narrative are considered and a playful experiment into instant narrative will be undertaken!
Dance for Camera Nights also features a work-in-progress sharing with artist Kate Jessop exploring her short film adaptation work in animation and mixed media film.
