This year we want to offer You the space to put all your energy on the outcome of the video, to give importance to the dance images that you capture, their esthetic and rhythm, light, colors, frame, narrative, time, etc …Highlighting each choice you made during the filming and the editing to create a short video art, an artistic composition out of images, time and sound. The images and movement material need to be inspired by Contact Improvisation.
You need to consider your video as “Video Art” that is inspired by Contact Improvisation (whatever this means for you).

Create a 1-7 minute video art using movement, sound (music or language) and image to compose. If you use language that is not in English, it would be great if there is a translation (subtitles).
