About Move the Frame



Anna Brady Nuse, photo: J WhyWelcome to Move the Frame - where dance meets the camera.

This blog is dedicated to videodance, a genre which encompasses dance made for the camera, also known as dance film, cinedance, screendance, and kinodance.

I started Move the Frame in 2004 as a television show for cable access in New York City where I showcased short videodances from around the world and featured interviews with different directors and choreographers.

Now as a blog, Move the Frame will serve as a public forum to show and discuss many aspects of videodance including, but not limited to: the state of the art, practices and examples from around the world, its history, its impact on and relationship to live dance performance, artistic & theoretical concepts, production tips, fundraising, marketing & distribution, profiles of different videodancemakers, and my own videodance projects through my production company, Straight to the Helicopter.

The videodance world is small, but growing rapidly. I welcome your comments, whether you are a veteran videodancemaker, or someone who has never seen this kind of work before. Diverse points of view and experience levels are encouraged. Let me know about videodances you've seen, made, or are working on right now. Also, I plan to expand this blog to include contributions from other people with different strengths and areas of expertise in this genre, particularly in the areas of new technology, production (gear reviews and tips),  education, and history of the form. If you are interested in becoming a regular contributor please email me.

If you would like to promote screenings or other videodance events and news on Move the Frame, please email me.
