Sound is a key part of shaping our relationship to space, even with your eyes closed, you can still orient yourself by the way sounds are emanating from it. It goes without saying that sound is a key component of dance performance.

Last year, we sat down with our friend Steven Butler, Dance & FIlm artist, in Vancouver, BC at Cascadia Dance and Cinema Festival, and talked about his dynamic career.
Steven Butler is a multi-talented creative with an open mind, passion for storytelling and an aptitude for intersecting multiple art forms. He began his creative career as a dancer and choreographer with credits including Transformers 2, The Latin Grammy’s, Weeds, Good Morning America and artists including Ludacris, Nick Carter, Aaron Carter, Paulina Rubio, Cheat Codes and Macy Gray. He received a Bachelor of Arts in film from ArtCenter College of Design, graduating with distinction.
His directing credits include music videos for Precarious Records, Ultra Records, and Raid Records. He has also received recognition for his writing, directing, and producing from Slamdance, The Addy Awards, Zooppa, Los Angeles Dance Film Festival, Standard Vision and the Academy of Television & Sciences Blue Ribbon Panel. In addition to his creative work, Steven was a 2018 TEDx Speaker.
By intersecting his creative passions and vast practical experience in varying artistic fields, Steven aims to use art as a means of storytelling that both engages and inspires viewers and participants while simultaneously shaping a progressive and culturally relevant narrative.

In today’s episode, Jen Ray discusses the documentary “How She Moves” with its co-directors, Anya Raza and Aisha Linnea. All of us Frameformers had the opportunity to see this film at Dancinema’s 2021 Capitol Dance & Cinema Festival at Eaton Workshop in DC and we knew right away we wanted to share more about this important project on the podcast with the creators.
About “How She Moves”: On the eve of Pakistan’s 70th independence anniversary, we follow the spirited 90 year old guru Indu Mitha, as she prepares for her students’ final performance before she retires.
“How She Moves” pulls back the curtain on her life as one of Pakistan’s few classical dance teachers. We observe her give a feminist and secular spin on classical dance, and see the transformative impact it has on her students. How She Moves, has toured 18 film festivals globally, and won 3 awards and 2 nominations.

Trailer: https://youtu.be/QLxRqdkoXWw
Directors’ Statement:
When we first heard Mrs Indu Mitha was having her final performance, we knew this was a rare moment in our history that had to be captured. At the tender age of 90, Indu’s contribution to preserving ancient classical dance despite a backdrop of growing intolerance and conservatism in Pakistan, is a legacy to be celebrated. As two women filmmakers, it was a privilege to go behind the scenes into the unseen world of dance.
In a conservative tight-knit society such as Pakistan, dance is a misunderstood subject, and women expressing themselves publicly is uncommon. Indu’s journey as one of the few classical dance teachers in the country, challenges stereotypes about Pakistani women that abound both within the country and overseas. How She Moves reflects on the universality of storytelling through dance, and how it can be used to unite communities.
We now unfortunately live in a time when women’s views, lives, and bodies are a battleground in the so-called clash of civilizations. In a time when vitriol dominates and divides communities all over the world, How She Moves challenges these narratives by telling a universal story of hope and resilience.
Please note this film is not an ethnographic representation, nor meant to exemplify Mrs Mitha’s classical dance style, her innovative subcontinental music or themes, or the performance of her students.
If you want to learn more about Indu Mitha and her dance, you can reach out to her daughter, who is also a dancer, Tehreema Mitha. @tehreema_mitha/

Ok, you caught us again in another music video episode. We just can’t get enough of the power of dance and music uniting together in the world of visual entertainment. But in the years of the early 2000s, there was a flavor of music videos that were incredibly different from years past and future. One of those outside the box artists leading the way of wildly explosive yet iconically memorable music video hits is no other than Missy Elliott– the OG. How can you forget “Lose Control,” and its bizarre digital visual effects? Missy’s head being pasted onto dancers crunking the desert floor, Ciara’s epic dance moves while re-defining the lindy hop, and Fat Man Scoop alone with his hyped up vocals that leaves you screaming ‘LET’S GO.’
The joy of Missy Elliott and the short-lived strange era of the early 2000s was such a memorable time for MTV and VH1 premiering the latest music videos, highlighting the best of the best. Missy Eliott takes the spotlight by bringing back the classics– whether they be old or new. Her take on a visual journey is to be totally beyond the planet we’re living on.

Frameform
02/22/23 • 25 min
Frameform is back in session and we’re kicking the season off with a collaboration! Earlier this year, we joined forces with Dance Camera West, by interviewing 4 selected filmmakers who were screening at this year’s 2023 fest.
First in line, Hannah chats with director/producer Bridget Murnane, celebrating her first feature documentary “Bella,” a biopic championing the life of California’s own, Bella Lewitzky. Murnane discusses her experience tracking, collecting, and building a story from archives, while reflecting her passion for sharing Bella’s life work for art and performance. “Bella” has been quite the success so far this year and is making its rounds in the festival circuit. So be on the lookout for a screening near your neck of the woods– you don’t want to miss this.

Frameform
04/05/23 • 21 min
In this episode, we are highlighting Gabri Christa, a core figure and throughline of Dance Camera West’s events we attended earlier this season.
“Gabri Christa makes work for stage, screen and everything in between. She hails from the Dutch Caribbean and lives in NYC. Christa is an Associate Professor of Professional Practice at Barnard College of Columbia University, where she teaches Screendance, Composition, Dance in Film lecture course, Contemporary Caribbean Dance and Yoga. She also directs the Movement Lab at Barnard and is the founding director of the social justice screendance festival Moving Body- Moving Image.
Gabri Christa's years of filmmaking, choreographing and teaching, have created a list of filmmakers who have studied and created work with her. A dedicated educator, her focus is on encouraging using what you have, uncovering and trusting your own vision, without letting need for high end equipment stand in your way.”
At DCW, Gabri offered a workshop on single-shot filmmaking that covered important fundamentals of making your creative visions a reality, no matter what your chosen format. Enjoy some clips from the workshop in this episode!
An evening was dedicated to highlighting selected works and she was presented with a much-deserved career achievement award from Dance Camera West. Congratulations!
Thank you to Dance Camera West and Kelly Hargraves for inviting Frameform to be part of their 2023 season! We loved attending the festival, highlighting some of your programs, and kicking off our fourth season of the podcast with you.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
June 4th - 6th
Online via Zoom
Introducing MAP Lab: Movement, Architecture, and Production. A brand new virtual workshop that culminates in the creation of your own (virtual) site-specific dance film!
In MAP Lab, you will have the opportunity to create your own tool kit for composing bodies in space in the virtual realm. Throughout the weekend, participants will take classes from renowned architects, dancers, and videographers, learning different topologies and mapping strategies to explore intersectionality of body and space. In between master classes, participants will have the opportunity to immediately apply what they've learned through the creation of their film. During these individual workshop sessions, participants can sign up for one on one consultations with Heidi Duckler to discuss their individual projects.This workshop is perfect for architects and students looking to expand their awareness of the relationship between the body and space, as well as different strategies for placing architecture on film.
We choose to view the virtual space as an opportunity to explore and challenge previous notions of the body and space. We find movement to be the momentum of architecture, and are seeking to investigate the ways in which different creative disciplines characterize space.
Join us for the chance to create your own spatial map for movement, architecture, and production in the virtual space!
No previous experience or equipment needed. For more information about scholarships or questions, please email [email protected].

Site-Specific Choreography
Frameform
05/03/23 • 48 min
You’re probably reading the title of this episode and thinking “site-specific choreography? Aren’t most screendances site-specific?” You are certainly right, listener! You must be a screendance fan!
As you know, site-specific episodes have been a recurring topic on the show. As we’ve segmented the dropped pins over the years, we’ve built an understanding of what the director may be conveying through movement within the landscape. The camera allows dance audiences to go on a journey that they may not be able explore on a live proscenium stage. The beauty of these films is that they push the boundaries of what these spaces can do. Art is experimentation and experimentation allows curiosity to run wild, and yet make all sense with it in the end.
In this episode, we’ll be picking apart the art of creating a site-specific dance film including many questions going from the very start of location scouting– Why do you want to create a film in/on/around this location? What is the significance of this space? What can you create in this space and what are your limitations? How do you want viewers to see and understand this environment? Along with all of that, we drop some useful advice that may help future makers well prepared for their next big film shoot. Press play and find out!

Over the last two years, screendance artists have been living, meeting, watching and practicing online. If you are in the screendance online sphere, you probably noticed the impeccably curated and presented Duet with Camera. Duet with Camera is dedicated towards sustaining the growing area of interdisciplinary practice, experimentation and collaboration in dance and cinema, with a focus in cultivating a pioneering space for Screendance learning, teaching, creating and researching in India.
The instigator of Duet with Camera, Sumedha Bhattacharya is an accomplished artist whose own online space is a treasure trove of reflections and analysis of screendance from both micro and macro lenses. This conversation touches on a wide array of topics, including the vulnerability/power of those wielding/performing for the camera and applying screendance pedagogy to a variety of settings.

Costumes transform a subject -- instantly creating a character, a personality, or a mood for the screen. The sheets of fabric, material, or in some cases sculpted masterpieces, take the shape to the character’s storyline, portraying a larger role to the picture.
In today’s discussion, we will take a closer look at some exquisite examples of imaginative costumes, how they are structuring the dance landscape, and uncovering the physical and metaphorical layers they leave behind.
Alongside our weekly roundtable, Jen sits down with fellow Vancouver filmmaker, Rodrigo Rocha-Campos, discussing his personal filmmaking interests and practices, while also taking a deeper look at his costume trilogy, A Full Circle.
