Course contents:

The workshop is designed for FAMU students, who will create 4 to 5 teams and work with remarkable Czech choreographers and create a ?short dance for camera? film. The module builds on two successful workshops led by David Hinton.

Ideas and concepts will be choosen and consulted prior to the start of the workshop via mail directly with Clara van Gool.

Technical equipment (cameras, editing rooms,...) are provided by Studio FAMU. Participants should create teams and the basic idea of the film already before the tutor?s arrival. In order to fulfil this condition, there will be an opening seminar on the 19th February, where the teams will be settled and the principles of cooperation will be clarified.

Note:

Director Clara van Gool is based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. She graduated from the Dutch Film & Television Academy in 1985 and worked for ten years as assistant director and script/continuity for several Dutch tv-drama and feature films. Van Gool?s films thrive on the border between fiction and a form that is usually described as ?dance-film?. Reservaat (1988) Courzand (1993), Bitings & other Effects (1995), Exit (1996) and Reimerswaal (2004) are highly visual stories that are expressed through movement, dance, mise-en-sc?ne and montage. Her work includes successful adaptations of dance performances for the screen: Enter Achilles (1996), by the renowned English group DV8 Physical Theatre won the International Emmy Award of Performing Arts (New York 1997) followed by the award winning Nussin (1998), Lucky (2001), Up at Down (2003) and Coup de Grâce (2011).
