Dance Urban Practice films

UEL's second year 'Dance: Urban Practice' degree students are inviting staff, students and friends to their official Dance for the Camera screening on Tuesday 4 December at 1pm, to be shown at Stratford Circus. 

Working with the award-winning filmmaker Terry Braun and Neon Dance choreographer Adrienne Hart, UEL's 'Dance: Urban Practice' degree students have developed their skills as dance filmmakers over the last two months; highlighting the relationship between dancer, camera and screen.

On Tuesday the students will present an exciting and eclectic mix of dance films, showcasing a range of dance styles from Waacking to Ballet, Hip Hop to Contemporary.

Urban Dance student, Rebecca Whitewood, said: "'The dance on film module allows us as dancers to be creative beyond limits,
experience a way of dance that is current in todays working, dancing environment. This module is by far my favourite of the course so far, I genuinely have enjoyed every hour that has been spent on it and feel the end product is something we can use through the rest of our careers."

Adrienne Hart, from Neon Dance, who led the course, said: “I’ve been so impressed with the second year Urban Dance students who have come up with an impressive collection of ideas and concepts for their dance film projects. From an interactive work inspired by video game culture to a shoot working with paint, inspired by the Indian festival of colour, each film uniquely represents the range of talent currently training on UEL’s 'Dance: Urban Practice' degree course”
