Expand and reimagine your creative process in a one-week intensive. Dive into dance filmmaking with GALLIM’s Artistic Director Andrea Miller, filmmaker Ben Stamper, GALLIM creative associates, and guest instructors from the film industry.

Open to students around the world!

Capacity is 25 students. Enrollment is first come, first served, until the program’s cap of 25 people is reached.

Program

During this comprehensive, 5-day intensive, discover and hone your practice on- and off-camera. Participants will learn the essentials of developing a concept for film, working in front of and behind the camera, and editing footage. Through movement workshops, guided work sessions, guest talks and collaborative review, students will produce their own dance film studies each day and build the skills to confidently incorporate film into their new or existing artistic practice.

This curriculum is anchored in Miller's method of research built to support the development of the individual artistic expression and path of creativity for each student. The daily schedule will include rigorous physical and creative exploration, developing new access to the body, craft, movement invention, and tools for creative practice.
