Within the 2 day workshop participants will be exploring the intersection between dance and photography, focusing on composition, form and the language of movement. We will also be covering...

Perspectives and approaches on capturing movement in a still form.
Tools to keep dancers/subjects inspired by offering stimulus to provoke their physicality.
Dance photography as a collaborative act.
Building a common collaborative language between visual arts and movement.
Tapping into your own physicality in order to achieve your desired image.
The body and space/architecture.

Photographers will be collaborating closely with four world class professional dancers throughout the day, in the morning classical ballet dancers and in afternoon two contemporary dancers.

On Sunday July 7th, all 10 participants will be invited to join a 4 hour collective digital editing & experimenting session, where they will have to opportunity learn from each-other and to share images taken over the workshop weekend. The final hour will finish with a lecture on the history of dance photography, (Supported by the Abderrahim Crickmay Charitable Settlement)
