EPISODE NOTES

In this episode, we are highlighting Gabri Christa, a core figure and throughline of Dance Camera West’s events we attended earlier this season.

“Gabri Christa makes work for stage, screen and everything in between. She hails from the Dutch Caribbean and lives in NYC. Christa is an Associate Professor of Professional Practice at Barnard College of Columbia University, where she teaches Screendance, Composition, Dance in Film lecture course, Contemporary Caribbean Dance and Yoga. She also directs the Movement Lab at Barnard and is the founding director of the social justice screendance festival Moving Body- Moving Image.

Gabri Christa's years of filmmaking, choreographing and teaching, have created a list of filmmakers who have studied and created work with her. A dedicated educator, her focus is on encouraging using what you have, uncovering and trusting your own vision, without letting need for high end equipment stand in your way.”

At DCW, Gabri offered a workshop on single-shot filmmaking that covered important fundamentals of making your creative visions a reality, no matter what your chosen format. Enjoy some clips from the workshop in this episode!

An evening was dedicated to highlighting selected works and she was presented with a much-deserved career achievement award from Dance Camera West. Congratulations!

Thank you to Dance Camera West and Kelly Hargraves for inviting Frameform to be part of their 2023 season! We loved attending the festival, highlighting some of your programs, and kicking off our fourth season of the podcast with you.
