The One-person Crew: Techniques and strategies for getting it all done yourself

Want to make a dance film but don't know where to start? In this workshop taught by Zena Bibler, we will focus on strategies for filming (and editing) ourselves in visually interesting and dynamic ways through camera positioning, perspective, rhythm and movement composition. We will also discuss techniques for shooting to edit without a DP. Led by dance filmmaker, Zena Bibler. Participants are encouraged to bring their own cameras and clothing they can move in.

Zena Bibler is an independent dance artist and filmmaker based in Brooklyn. As a choreographer she is interested in improvisation structures and site-specific performance, using movement and film as a means of experiencing diverse environments, uncovering their histories, secret meanings, serendipities, and previously unimagined possibilities. Her work has been shown at Judson Church, Dixon Place, La MaMa Galeria, NADA Hudson, Yale University, WestFest, Rice University, São Carlos Videodance Festival, and Moviehouse Brooklyn. Currently she serves as co-representative of the Movement Party , a group of individuals dedicated to providing citizens and non-citizens of any state, nation, or territory with more opportunities to move.
