About the workshop:
Filmmaking for theatre is a middle ground, a space of intersection, a world suspended between different languages, aims and rules, between art and documentation, technological and artistic work. That’s the “land” we will investigate in this 3-day workshop on practical work and reflection. The workshop is for artists, film makers and theatre practitioners interested in the techniques of producing videos of their performances and in developing their experience by confronting the particular situation of filming a theatre/live performance.
DAY 1: SHOOTING. Training. Camera as an “actor” and camera as a “spectator”. Visual anthropology and theatre.
DAY 2: EDITING. Motivated cutting. Types of cutting. A “montage of attractions”. Cutting on action. Cut and “sats”.
DAY 3: LIVE. Catching the flow. What is alive?
The workshop includes: a brief introductory phase using examples from films of performances by Odin Teatret founded by the stalwart theatre director Eugenio Barba and others; filming examples and training with camera; short experiments of editing and montage using archival material and/or documentation produced during the workshop.
The participants should have basic knowledge of video recording and editing techniques.
Participants are requested to get their own camera and laptop. Editing Software to be used is Premiere Pro CC 2017/2018.
