Learning Through the Lens…With Ellen Bromberg
Malashock / Dance on Screen has been postponed due to the review and development of opportunities for this project. Please look out for a bigger and better MALASHOCK/DANCE ON SCREEN workshop in 2011. Malashock Dance anticipates the involvement of exciting community partners in order to provide participants with a more well-rounded experience, greater breadth of information and increased networking opportunities.
Please accept Malashock Dance's apology for this inconvenience; this program is still a priority for Malashock Dance's programming.

Dance Film (dances made specifically for the camera) is an exciting and fast-growing genre nationally and internationally. Malashock Dance has a distinguished history of Emmy-award winning dances for the film screen. Click here for more information about Malashock Dance's dance films.
MALASHOCK/DANCE ON SCREEN is a unique opportunity for established and emerging choreographers, filmmakers, dancers, visual artists, and videographers to investigate the specific techniques of dance on camera. Under the tutelage of award-winning choreographer, filmmaker, curator, educator and recipient of the 2006 Guggenheim Fellowship, Ellen Bromberg, all workshop participants will learn by producing, shooting, and editing an original dance film of their own. Choreographers and filmmakers are encouraged to enroll in this in-depth, two-week workshop, where they will be immersed in the theory and practice of this hybrid form. The intensive will culminate in a showing of all the works created during the workshop.
MALASHOCK/DANCE ON SCREEN will expand choreographers’ reach beyond the confines of the studio or traditional theater; foster new ways of seeing the body in screen space, articulating time through editing; and familiarize them with the technical skills of filmmaking. It will encourage filmmakers to embrace the particular challenges of filming the body in motion, especially in unusual locations. Enrollment in the workshop will be very limited to allow for individualized attention.
Local dancers will be given the opportunity to participate in the workshop as the subjects of the films and to learn dance filmmaking techniques themselves.
