As a photographer, I'm particularly interested in Jody Oberfelder's
workshop, which is described as follows:



This workshop will explore how the interaction of camera and movement
creates kinetic imagery. We will create dance films that will explore
the relationships between movement and visual elements. We will work
with physical imagination, storyboarding, and hands-on camera work,
finding an individual vocabulary. Each day will include a physical
morning class, followed by afternoons developing studies for film:
investigating site-specific locations and choreographing for the camera
to find the unique language of dance and film. All levels of experience
are welcome. Video cameras recommended. 

JODY OBERFELDER creates emotionally and intellectually provocative work
that distills the movement of every day life. She has shown her richly
varied work in New York City at Dance New Amsterdam, Dixon Place,
Symphony Space, PS 122; and nationally at Jacob's Pillow, MASS MoCA, The
Yard, and other venues; and internationally at the Centre National de la
Danse de Paris, the Belgrade Dance Festival, Serbia, the Festival of
Modern Dance in Seoul, Korea, and the State Theater of Montenegro in
Podorica. Jody's dance film, LineAge, received the People's Choice Award
for 2007 from Cinedans. This past year Jody was selected as a 2007-2008
Joyce Resident Artist. See also www.jodyoberfelder.com

I expect the focus is more on video and dance, but look forward to a
visual dialog across disciplines.  First, though, I look forward to
seeing the workshop happen, and know that so far enrollment has not been
encouraging.  Thus my posting here.  Please tell others who may be
interested.
