New Project: Dance

For our new project we will be filming and then rotoscoping a modern dance sequence by dance students at the college to be projected on to a wall during the actual dance. Once the sequence has been filmed I will need to edit it together and then chop it up in to small chunks that everyone can edit before piecing them back together again.

Looking up contemporary and modern dance I get these definitions:

Contemporary dance is a genre of concert dance that employs systems and methods found in modern dance and postmodern dance, as well as classical ballet. Contemporary dance draws on modern dance techniques as well as newer philosophies of movement that depart from classical dance techniques by altogether omitting structured form and movement.

Modern dance is a dance form developed in the early 20th century. Although the term Modern dance has also been applied to a category of 20th Century ballroom dances, Modern dance as a term usually refers to 20th century concert dance.

I will continue to read up on these so I have a better idea of what to expect in the project.
