Screendance has the potential to expand our notions of narrative, location and movement, and affords the experience of somatosensory storytelling, a deep language of the body told through the frame of cinema. Essential to this hybrid artform is the camera, telling unique stories, witness to a whole range of different lives and circumstances, showing alternative spaces and populations and offering varied points of view.

This panel discussion brings together four international award-winning artists with experience as choreographers, performers, cinematographers, and directors of screendance, to discuss the power of the camera as an empathetic partner—a camera that finds, meets, and engages with diverse people and places, and introduces us to ideas beyond those of our own experiences.

Join SLFS and moderator Katrina McPherson for a discussion recorded on January 20, 2021 from all over the globe.
