Participants will be led on physical journeys to create story via the body. We will discuss how this work can be transferred to the world of image, both still and moving. We will also look at how to exaggerate the corporeal, and bring texture to the image space by exploring environments in which kinetic studies can be presented which rely on the human figure as movement catalyst. How does space challenge, provoke and resist the performer?

"Before technology connected speech to film cinematic stories were told in movement and gesture. The screen space was electric with physical expression in the telling, supported by music and often guided with captions or scene titles. I am drawn to these early films because of their physical beauty and their sense of movement. My main focus is to design a synthesis in moving image. I work with the human body to develop time based sculpture and story. I visualise and edit film as a choreographer shapes a dance" Daniel Belton
