"Sweat - The Movie" The intention is to produce a film telling the story of a workshop for dancers and choreographers, filmmakers, set designers etc, taking place at ImPulsTanz 2008. Participants will function as the film team and as actors in the film and work with all the parameters of film making, thus also with marketing, product placement etc. The workshop will address dance and choreographic practices through a foreign interface as means to de-territorialise what dance can be today. Can film production teach us something about our understanding of dance? Next to the production process, in which the participants will occupy different positions to learn as much as possible, a series of smaller events will be organized. A number of guests will visit the workshop and add their expertise to the process. The portrait and the actions will be fictional in order to create an effective and immersive movie that is understood as a dance and thus it is not the narrative that should stand out but rather the mode of production. The script is not necessarily aiming at originality but towards scenes and material that we recognise. This is not a workshop in which we make film as choreographers, or make art of television, but on the contrary it is a matter of producing a film for the commercial market but though a vision of dance that is the one of the contemporary dance community. In order not to end up with half a film, a format has been devised that lies inbetween a television series and a conventional movie. The film will be laid out as episodes that correspond to the four weeks of the festival. Each episode can thus highlight different characters and events. The film will be edited simultaneously with the shooting and the aim is to premiere the film in the last days of the festival. PODCAST!
