Learning unit contents
Starting from a critical and historical perspective of the idea of ??cinematographic staging, the course, supported by numerous illustrations, confronts the notion of staging with that of the choreographic act. What happens to the work of staging when it no longer takes as its object a speaking body, but a dancing body? Staging movement also means organizing a new management of the spectator's gaze.
Through the study of a series of audiovisual works devoted to the recording of dance and bodily movement, this course considers the numerous points of articulation between cinematographic and choreographic artistic practices. From serpentine dances to research into animated cinema, from Hollywood musical comedies to the figures of choreographers turned filmmakers, the aim is to connect motifs, figures and devices to the very foundations of these two arts of time and movement.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
* Develop the student's analytical outlook and learn to distinguish the mechanisms, forms and discourses developed in a cinematographic and/or choreographic work.
