We presented this special workshop specifically for schools with the incredible Peng Hsiao-yin (Grace) from Dancecology Taiwan during 2025 Australian Dance Week.
Title: Self-Portrait of Dance Film
In this workshop, participants learned how to film an original and creative self-portrait video in the form of dance film: the power of using body language and cinematic skills to express yourself. Through the creative process, Peng Hsiao-yin guided the participants to design or choreograph movements and gesture to express themselves, and film the choreography with professional filming techniques.
