Movement Workshop

A movement workshop with 2021 Commissioned Artist Sophie Dow, whose film Mountain Duets premieres directly following this session as part of the Commissioned Artists’ Friday Film Screening. Listen, gather, explore the reciprocity of the circle and cycles within our stories, memories from the earth and the imprints within our own bodies. This workshop welcomes folks of all ages to move and reflect as they embody understandings through a few of the origin teachings of Turtle Island.

Workshop

In this workshop we use movement, photography, and storytelling to create narrative portraits. Paired with our OFF-THE-WALL screening (5-6PM PDT), participants will meet at 3:30 PM to workshop storyboard techniques as a springboard to learn how to develop dance portraits and characters for the screen. What is your story? How does framing portray your identity? How do I communicate to collaborators about a vision for a film?
