Book excerpt: "The DVD consists of the PhD thesis of Lila Moore including a link to her YouTube channel listing films and artists mentioned and discussed in the thesis. Also on the DVD: a dance on film, 'Gaia - mysterious rhythms' | Disc 1: The Thesis: The thesis proposes that dance as a live form ceases to exist in the process of its recreation as a screen form. The argument about dance on screen is based not within the context of contemporary live dance, but within the contexts of film/video, screen choreography and performance, including performative texts and art as performance engaging both artists and viewers. Overall, this thesis demonstrates that dance on screen, originating from the contexts of modern and postmodern art and culture, constitutes a unique art form and phenomenon reflecting current concerns with the notions of hybridity and performance. Bonus essay: 'Ritual in transfigured time - a film by Maya Deren'. Essay by Lila Moore, M.Phil/PhD research, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London, 1991/2, 2012 (updated in 2012) | The essay tackles Deren's standpoint as a female avant-garde film-maker, and her approach to the portrayal of feminine experience in 'Ritual in transfigured time'. It outlines Deren's interest in ritualistic dance, modern dance, and her special treatment of dance as it is created by film. | Disc 2 The Film. 'Gaia - mysterious rhythms' is a dance-ritual performed by a young woman on the seashore. The dance unfolds a rite of passage, and a process of transformation, through the woman's interaction with the elements of the natural environment; the rhythms and features of the earth, sea, moon and sun. 'Gaia' was made as part of a practice-based PhD in Dance on Screen, Middlesex University, UK, 2001." -- Container.

Download or read book Dancefilm written by Erin Brannigan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-09 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dancefilm: Choreography and the Moving Image examines the choreographic in cinema - the way choreographic elements inform cinematic operations in dancefilm. It traces the history of the form from some of its earliest manifestations in the silent film era, through the historic avant-garde, musicals and music videos to contemporary experimental short dancefilms. In so doing it also examines some of the most significant collaborations between dancers, choreographers, and filmmakers. The book also sets out to examine and rethink the parameters of dancefilm and thereby re-conceive the relations between dance and cinema. Dancefilm is understood as a modality that challenges familiar models of cinematic motion through its relation to the body, movement and time, instigating new categories of filmic performance and creating spectatorial experiences that are grounded in the somatic. Drawing on debates in both film theory (in particular ideas of gesture, the close up, and affect) and dance theory (concepts such as radical phrasing, the gestural anacrusis and somatic intelligence) and bringing these two fields into dialogue, the book argues that the combination of dance and film produces cine-choreographic practices that are specific to the dancefilm form. The book thus presents new models of cinematic movement that are both historically informed and thoroughly interdisciplinary.
Download or read book Dance s Duet with the Camera written by Telory D. Arendell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-24 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dance’s Duet with the Camera: Motion Pictures is a collection of essays written by various authors on the relationship between live dance and film. Chapters cover a range of topics that explore dance film, contemporary dance with film on stage, dance as an ideal medium to be captured by 3D images and videodance as kin to site-specific choreography. This book explores the ways in which early practitioners such as Loïe Fuller and Maya Deren began a conversation between media that has continued to evolve and yet still retains certain unanswered questions. Methodology for this conversation includes dance historical approaches as well as mechanical considerations. The camera is a partner, a disembodied portion of self that looks in order to reflect on, to mirror, or to presage movement. This conversation includes issues of sexuality, race, and mixed ability. Bodies and lenses share equal billing.

Download or read book Dance on Screen written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lila Moore claims the autonomy of dance on screen as a hybrid art form, a form which like other creative forms, such as painting, sculpture or even dance, has its own particular aesthetic qualities and limits. The thesis proposes that dance as a live form ceases to exist in the process of its recreation as a screen form. The argument about dance on screen is based not within the context of contemporary live dance, but within the contexts of film/video, screen choreography and performance, including performative texts and art as performance engaging both artists and viewers. To locate dance on screen in a contemporary framework, Lila Moore refers to central developments issuing from the television series Dance for the Camera produced by BBC2 & the Arts Council and the IMZ/Dance Screen international festivals. She approaches choreography in screen terms thereby referring to the expression of movement in the broader sense, including performance, body language, the motion of objects and natural events, and rhythms and movements created via film/video technology. The moving body on the screen is also utilised for the expression of mythical journeys as in Gaia.
