Help dance-tech.net to remain FREE and open to everybody!

--

dance-tech.net has always been a free access network since its creation in 2007. I want to keep its access free and for that I need your help...

---

I believe that we have reached a critical mass with more than 5000 members to really leverage the potential of collective generosity of our international community to make this project sustainable... and to further develop it.

----

The dance-tech project, as I like to call it, comprises two websites ( dance-tech.net and dance-tech.tv),  the dance-tech interviews (more than 400), curated video collections of complete works, online educational events (meta-academy@), app development and online/offline artistic residencies.  

---

All instances are geared to create and develop an exciting and inspiring international community focused on the investigation of embodied knowledge, interdisciplinary performance and emergent hybrid arts practices. 

----

I believe that we, as a "crowd",  can instantiate strategies to support and develop these projects. More than 5000 members may gently enable this project to keep going with a "road map" that we can envision together. My main goal is to keep its access for and add free.

The Departments of Modern Dance and Film & Media Arts are pleased to announce the jury selections for the Student Dance for the Camera Program for the 8th International Dance for the Camera Festival and Workshop with Katrina McPherson.

We would like to thank students from around the globe for their submissions and congratulate the selected filmmakers. This is the first year a Jury's Choice Cash Award has been offered.

JURY STATEMENT
The $200 award goes to the Workshop "Cámaras danzantes (Dancing Cameras)" taught by Silvina Szperling at Escuela Internacional Cine y TV in Cuba, in collaboration with Festival DVDanza Habana, directed by Roxana de los Ríos, during March-April 2011. With over 80 submissions from around the world the collection of student dance films made during a workshop in Havana, Cuba with Silvina Szperling from Argentina, are particularly compelling. It is to the sponsors of this workshop that we award our cash prize, as a way of supporting their efforts. By the simplest of means, these student filmmakers immediately transport us to their worlds, and a great spirit of humanity is evident in every film.

Workshop : konic will offer a workshop inside the perfomance space: Sunday, September 11th 2pm to 6pm

Before the Beep is a dance-performance piece inside an interactive space, and with audience participation. Kònic Thtr understands this piece as a space for encounter with local dancers and choreographers, elaborating a site specific event every time it is presented.

In 2011 three versions will be presented in Brazil, China and the US, each time with different collaborators. In this case, we will present the piece in New York with the collaboration of dancer Grace McCants

Before the Beep refers to the changes of perception in interpersonal communication mediated by new technologies, and to the spaces that this mediation generates. The piece confronts the body with these same communication technologies, and explores how these re-write the body and change our understanding of place and the idea of presence, redefining narrative, individuals and culture.

--Rosa Sánchez - Alain Baumannkònic thtr / koniclabwww.koniclab.info

Black Moon (La Lune Noir) is an interdisciplinary/multimedia cabaret operetta based on Arnold Schoenberg’s melodrama “Pierrot Lunaire,” rewritten from an African-American male perspective and musically re-imagined through popular genres such as Afrobeat and house, deconstructing classical and contemporary forms to infuse the work with emotional power. The work is an electric experience visually and sonically.
