Brannigan, Erin - Dancefilm

Dancefilm: Choreography and the Moving Image examines the choreographic in cinema - the way choreographic elements inform cinematic operations in dancefilm. It examines some of the most significant collaborations between dancers, choreographers, and filmmakers and presents new models of cinematic movement that are historically informed and interdisciplinary in nature.
