Screendance Symposium

Frameform is back!! We kick off Season 3 with a recap of the Screendance Symposium, which took place at the University of Wisconsin, Madison in April of 2022. Jen and Clare reflect on being a part of a rich gathering and sharing of the screendance community and share excerpts from several presentations. First up, Autumn Mist Belk (FAD: Film-Art-Dance, now Screendance in Schools) invited Frameform to be a part of a panel entitled “Crafting a Diverse Screendance Audience” which also featured Robin Gee (Greensboro Dance Film Festival) and Jennifer Scully-Thurston (Rogue Dancer). Then, Clare shares a portion of her research into Lenwood Sloan and Lone Mountain College’s Dance Film Festival (1976-1978). -- Screendance State of the Art 2022 Symposium Website and Information https://screendancesymposium.art.wisc.edu/ Curated by Douglas Rosenberg (@rosenberg_douglas) Administrative assistance from Kel Mur (@kel.mur.art) Technical assistance & audio files from Aaron Granat (@adgranat) “Crafting a Diverse Screendance Audience” Panel Curated by Autumn Mist Belk (@autmist, @screendance_schools, @codefadcompany) Panelists: Clare Schweitzer Jen Ray Robin Gee (@robingee2, @gsodancefilm) Jennifer Scully Thurston (@roguedance) “Lone Mountain College’s San Francisco Dance Film Festival 1976-1978” Films Referenced Clinic of Stumble & Horror Dream- Sidney Peterson & Marian Van Tuyl (available to view at BAMPFA) Tripytych -Welland Lathrop (available to view at MP+D) Four in the Afternoon- James Broughton Six Phrases in Real Time- Deborah Mangum Videola- Don Hallock and Steve Beck Thermography - Richard Lowenberg Further Reading Radical Light: Alternative Film and Video in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1945–2000 Steve Anker, Kathy Geritz, and Steve Seid, editors (2010) Screendance from Film to Festival: Celebration and Curatorial Practice by Cara Hagan (2022) Specials Thanks to Bay Area Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (@bampfa), Museum of Performance and Design San Francisco (MP+D), University of San Francisco Archives, Lenwood Sloan, Roger Ferragallo (http://www.ferragallo.com/indexnoflash.html), I- HATE-THIS-FILM The slides that accompanied the presentation are available upon request
