Weekend Workshop on Film-Choreography with Sarah Möller.
Where: online
When: June 28 & 29, 2025, 10 am – 15 pm (CET)
Movement lies at the heart of both choreography and cinematography—but how can physical and cinematic movements be arranged, composed, and interwoven to craft a distinct kinaesthetic experience on the canvas?
This workshop explores a range of methods and strategies for connecting dance and film through close analysis of selected films and hands-on experimentation. By examining the genesis, processes, and techniques behind key film examples, we will uncover underlying scores, structures, and compositional approaches.
The workshop is structured into four sessions, each accompanied by a curated selection of films, readings, and creative exercises. The aim is to provide historical and conceptual insight into the hybrid format of dance film while supporting participants in developing and refining their own artistic ideas.
Arranging Movement in Film is designed for a small group of around 10 participants, fostering a collaborative setting where individual knowledge, questions, and perspectives are actively woven into the process. It offers a platform for inspiration and intense exchange and supports participants in sharpening their own ideas and artistic approach.
