Why learn about screendance?
The genre of screendance has grown phenomenally across the globe in the last decade. Dance practitioners are realising that this interdisciplinary medium – a cross-over of video, video art and dance – is not only vital to the survival of their practice but that it is also a recognised art form. Dance practitioners (be they dancers, choreographers or producers) aware of the power of the digital materialization of the moving body, are turning to this medium for the production of dance in a new medium, choreographic research, documentation, archives and promotion.
The power of the internet provides an alternate platform for dance makers to screen, share and promote their work. Increasingly this outlet is also being used as a social choreographic tool, encouraging creative networked outcomes and new takes on the medium of screendance works.
