Interviews for Dance and Video Publication

Here's update on interviews I've just completed and will soon conduct for my book on dance, video and the Internet.

- This past Tuesday I met with Ludovic Jolivet in Arlington, Virginia right outside of DC. Ludovic is a choreographer, videographer and dance filmmaker with a wealth of expertise and insight about the process of producing videos of dance performances, creating video for projection purposes, and directing dance on camera productions. I recorded our interview, which I think lasted well over an hour. I'm going to transcribe and summarize our discussion and post it soon.

- This afternoon I'm interviewing Tim Glenn, assistant professor in the Department of Dance at Florida State University. Tim has an excellent site on Dance Documentation that I'm reading right now. It provides a very comprehensive guide on how to videotape performances for the purpose of study and recreation.

- This weekend I'm interviewing Matt Gough who is visiting the US. Matt is a dancer, choreographer, teacher, and dance and technology expert. I've gone to a couple dance performances with him here in DC and it's great getting his insights about the performances. A number of the topics I've covered in my blog that deal with dance and video have resulted from conversations I've had with Matt. Matt is an occasional blogger and everybody should encourage him to blog more so that he can share his thoughts about dance and technology.

- And I'll soon be interviewing Matt Mahaney, a dancer with Liz Lerman Dance Exchange, when he returns from performances in Japan. Matt has a lot of experience with dance videography and video editing and he's going to give me an overview of his work. (I do Internet consulting work for Dance Exchange.)

How come I interview only guys??
