Remapping Narrative

January’s programme explores how a choreographic sensibility might be expressed in the development of screen work driven by narrative. What might working in the creation of new processes for film drama by artists coming from an embodied spatial practice offer, and how might direction, script development and creation be reconsidered as a result? Conversely how might working through a notion of script led by narrative inform choreographic practice?
The programme includes screenings in special locations in Brighton, a salon evening and two weekend intensives. These practical workshops led by a guest artist will explore approaches to the development of narrative on screen and are open to national and international artists working in moving image practices.
Marisa Zanotti is a filmmaker who is continuously exploring what her background in dance performance, improvisation and choreography might bring to the development, production and direction of screen drama in short and feature length work. The month will end with a performance lecture by Marisa in a live lunch looking back at the programme and the research. A written report about the project will be available through the Movement 12 website.
