Description

The Advanced diploma is a one-year programme of study that extends the academic thinking and creative processes of the three-year diploma in theatre and dance. It also further prepares students for postgraduate studies in creative practice, pedagogy and research. The onset of COVID-19 shifted us into the digital space. The shift afforded our students new opportunities to fulfil their collaborative project requirement to embody and choreographically structure deep and personal agitations in an interdisciplinary medium. For the first time this year, the Advanced diploma dance students will present four dance films, choreographed and directed by themselves in collaboration with South African film maker Oscar O’ Ryan.

Dance films, video dance, dance for camera or screendance as it is sometimes called is a constantly evolving and rapidly growing art form that is contemporary in its interdisciplinary practice. In screen dance, movement, choreography and filmmaking merge to create a new visual art form with a modern expression. This evening’s program begins with movement excerpts taken from the dance technique aspect of the course followed by the screening of the dance films.

Thank you for bearing witness to our students’ 2020 journey into screendance.
