Following last year?s groundbreaking Film and Dance conference, which probed this rising new art form and opened with the South African premiere of Wim Wender?s Pina 3D, the Gordon Institute for Performing and Creative Arts (GIPCA) presents a workshop series with internationally acclaimed choreographer and filmmaker Jeannette Ginslov from 18-22 July.
The genre of screendance has grown phenomenally across the globe in the last decade. Dance practitioners are realising that this interdisciplinary medium ? a cross-over of video, video art and dance ? is not only vital to the survival of their practice but that it is also a recognised art form. Dance practitioners (be they dancers, choreographers or producers) aware of the power of the digital materialization of the moving body, are turning to this medium for the production of dance in a new medium, choreographic research, documentation, archives and promotion. The power of the internet provides an alternate platform for dance makers to screen, share and promote their work. Increasingly this outlet is also being used as a social choreographic tool, encouraging creative networked outcomes and new takes on the medium of screendance works.
It all starts, however, with recording the moving body with a camera. The workshops that Jeannette Ginslov will present at GIPCA are designed for filmmakers and dance practitioners and will be attended by students from various disciplines (dance, drama, films and media studies), choreographers, dancers, filmmakers and educators. They are tailored for dance practitioners wanting to cross over to screendance, giving direction on the digitising of dance and choreographic practice for screens, installations and online platforms, and for online producers, collaborators, curators and filmmakers wanting to work in the cross-over of dance and video.
Jeannette Ginslov is a specialist in Dance on Screen ? a filmmaker, producer and facilitator for screen and the internet. She is Artistic Director of Walking Gusto Productions, producer of MoveStream, Facilitator for Montage Media Facilitations and Co-Ordinator for 60secondsdance.dk.
Ginslov facilitates screendance workshops internationally and directs, shoots and edits her own screendance works that centre around Affect, the moving body and its digital materiality. She holds a MA in Choreography from Rhodes University, and a MSc in Media Art & Imaging ? Screendance from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, University of Dundee, Scotland.
Most recently she has been Artist in Residence at MEDEA, Malm? University (Sweden), collaborating with Susan Kozel on the augmented reality screendance work AffeXity. Her most recent dance video, commissioned by the Danish Dance Theatre, Autopsy | Eros ?la petite mort?, has been screen ed internationally at eight different screendance festivals. In April this year she was in Kigali, Rwanda facilitating screendance workshops at the Ishyo Arts Centre and has just returned from Hollywood, California where she conducted MoveStream interviews with screendance makers for Dance Camera West.

Autopsy/Eros ?La Petite Mort?
A personal observation of desire, beauty, erotic love and ?la petite mort?. Ginslov captures authentic emotions and movement with the medium of Screendance, an interdisciplinary genre of dance and cinema. Using the somatic system of Alba Emoting that trains the performer to elicit raw authentic emotions, the focus is on emotional and kinaesthetic amplification. The film emphasizes affect ? a viewer?s empathic and visceral response to the performer and camera dancing together in the sumptuous location of the Sofie Badet in Copenhagen.
Films produced during the GIPCA workshops will be presented at the Baxter Dance Film Festival on Saturday, 11 August at 19:30 as a prelude to the screening of screendance works by Jeanette Ginslov. Ginslov?s films will include Sandstone, Karohano, Freedom, Sanctum, CoNCreTe, Clinton?s Story and Autopsy | Eros ?la petite mort?. Tickets for these screenings are available through Computicket.
Ginslov will also be presenting workshops at Rhodes University from 6 to 10 August.
