Costa Contemporánea met La Ignorancia to create a uniquevideodanceproject that took place at the NaturalPark of CabodeGata, (Almería, Spain).
This video-dance project has been conceived as creative break for directors, dancers, performers, photographers, filmtechnicians or anyone else interested in the art of filmmaking.
A new concept with the goal of creating cultural and educational experiences in a unique environment.
Costa Contemporánea broadened its horizons to internationalparticipants thanks to the collaboration and experience of the multidisciplinary collectiveLaignorancia dance film music, based in Brussels since 2008 and formed by the choreographer / filmmaker AnaCembrero and the cinematographer /musician Jorge Piquer.
During the workshop participants approached the currently under expansion art genre video dance: reviewing the history of cinema and dance, learning the technical aspects of the camera, editing and post-productionsoftware, introducing themselves to the new independentfilmmakingtechnologies as well as the low-costHDSLRcameras.
They analyzed motion from a cinematographic point of view and the relationship between body and audiovisuallanguage. Overall, participants explored their personal creativity through practicalexercises and carried out their dance-film from the first steps, wrapping up with a general overview of the different coveragemedia and distribution.
A selection of the work created at the workshop was screened at International Dance Festival Mes de Danza de Sevilla (see pictures) and at EAMM Arts School Miguel Marmolejo (see pictures)

About the evening- Body Writes Mood:
The marriage of dance and camera enables a choreographer to place the moving body in new locations- from a wild open landscape to an intimate room. It also allows positioning the spectator in different perspectives in relation to this body.
This compilation brings together nine screendance films where different environments are the raw material used for carving a place with movement. By occupying space with the body, the performers make distinctions, articulate the surroundings and project a state of mind. These various states of mind, moods and sensations- conceived in the meeting of body and its exterior- are the protagonists of this screening.

Maria Hallett was a pirate's girlfriend. Her parents wouldn't let her marry Black Sam Bellamy because he had no money. He became a famous pirate, collected a ship full of gold, and sailed back to her hometown in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. On April 17th, The Whydah struck one of Wellfleet's famous sandbars and sunk, killing most of the crew. Legend has it that Hallett used to visit the shore every night watching for Black Sam’s return. Some say she actually witnessed the famous Whydah shipwreck, and cried out as her true love drowned; others say she spent her later days as a witch, condemning ships that passed through her harbor.
Filmed and danced near Uncle Tim's Bridge in Wellfleet, Massachusetts.

The “Dance Camera Istanbul” 3rd International Dance Film Festival will be held in Istanbul, Turkey in 2010 winter, focusing on video dance, dance on camera, dance photography and dance film screenings. Dance for camera is a fusion art form combining choreography and filmmaking. “Dance Camera Istanbul” annually showcases international dance films, camera re-works and experimental movement-based films by contemporary video artists and choreographers from student to professional level. There is no restriction on the subject.
The festival supports films which investigate the ongoing search for movement and spaces, both in and out of bodies.
The aim of the festival is to build a community for both dancers and filmmakers to come together, to present and promote both local and cutting edge international works, to share ideas, and to provide a collaborative experience for dancers and filmmakers as they work together to produce the final product.
“Dance Camera Istanbul” also focuses on increasing attention and awareness of the collaborations between dance, film, visual arts and music as well as the different mediums and forms of dance. The goals of “Dance Camera Istanbul” are to offer a proper venue in which to screen and share the works, to encourage and educate student dance filmmakers, to spread the knowledge of dance for camera, and to deepen the understanding of Turkish and international dance film practices through panels, practical workshops, discussions and screenings. We are seeking enthusiastic individuals and groups who are strongly focused (or want to focus) on dance for camera work, video or multimedia installation collaborations. Examples include video dance, dance documentary, adaptation of a stage work or site specific creation, any kind of artistic and experimental work with kinesthetic energy and rhythmic design, and choreographic works that are created specifically for the lens of the camera and include a well- planned editing process. We invite you to be part of the “Dance Camera Istanbul Festival” family. Accepted works will be screened in various venues in Istanbul, throughout Turkey and at the sister event Cinematic Lounge Series. In attendance will be Turkish and international dancers, filmmakers, musicians, photographers, artists and students, as well as both national and international audiences. During the festival, we will organize discussions between the artists, filmmakers and audience after the screenings.
Dance Film Workshops and Lectures/Panels
The workshops will be directed by acclaimed national and international dance and video artists, filmmakers and choreographers who will introduce different approaches to camera, dance and movement as well as providing information about video dance history, archives and links for further research. The workshops will take place at several dance studios and stages as well as access to indoor and outdoor spaces for filming. During the festival month, there will be national and international lectures serious on the dance camera work and the related fields. If you are interested in honoring us with your presence and lecture, please contact with us in regards to your possible topic. It would be our pleasure to start and organize a growing artistic environment and relationship.
