Presented in partnership with Flatpack

As part of Screendance UnpackedOmari ‘Motion’ Carter presented a very special masterclass in which Omari took participants on a journey from conception of idea, through to production, post-production and finally how to get the film out there once it’s made.

This three-hour workshop was designed for choreographers and filmmakers who have an interest in screendance but little or no experience making it. It focused on techniques, tips, and insider knowledge about using camera phones, tablets, public domain software, and what to do with your film once it’s made.

More about Screendance Unpacked: 

In November 2020 DX teamed up with Flatpack to offer a unique opportunity to engage with some of the best digital work from across the globe, and learn more about the filmmakers and their work.  To top it all off, choreographers and filmmakers joined a Masterclass exploring the process of making and distributing your own work. Screendance Unpacked was part of the autumn season of Dance Insights Online.
