Caring and MetaNiches with Sumedha Bhattacharyya
07/20/22 • 52 min
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.

Previous Episode
Location Scout: Empty Swimming Pools
We’re back with our regularly scheduled programming! In today’s episode, we’re back on the location scouting game by taking a closer look into dance films taking place in empty swimming pools! Like our previous episode with warehouse films, deserted swimming pools have populated the screendance world with its desaturated backdrop aesthetic. Something about the hues of blue tile and barren empty sea floor sets up a new proscenium for movers to navigate through. We break down the draw to this environment and what the film is doing differently from non-pool locations. Time to make a very dry splash with this dissected roundtable.

Film 103: Putting Your Work on the Internet
It’s 2022 and it’s time to get with the program people.
PUT YOUR WORK ONLINE.
Do it in a fashion that makes sense to you. Whether that be hosting your own website portfolio or starting a YouTube channel focusing on the creative process. Overall, sharing *content* online is essentially necessary in this digital age. Representing one-third of the Frameform team (Hannah here), I find that the internet is the one of the best outlets to share and explore dance film as it already embodies a niche community spanning across the globe. As the next generation navigates its ways through short-form scrollable content, the digital hemisphere is a natural homebase to display a gallery of visually stimulating homemade works. It’s time to normalize dance film online by tagging films in a way that makes it easier to find. Post your experimental shorts, narrative driven ballets, and all the bingeable storytelling that will make people want to hit that replay button. We’re one short host this week, but Hannah and Clare jump in, reflecting and looking forward to what’s to come on the forecast of the screendance metaverse.
