Creating a Dance Film with AI, led by Deputy Director of Gibney’s Digital Media Initiative, Liam Mejia: Artists will learn to develop a theme, style, mood, and storyboard to create videos using only their phones to help promote their work, apply for grants, and dynamically highlight a portion of their dance. By the end of the two-day session, artists will know of free apps to edit and promote their short films.
Breathwork Practices for Dancers, led by ETD Artistic Director, Eryc Taylor:
Learn breathwork practices designed to calm nerves and maintain grounding. These invaluable techniques are for auditions, performances, and managing daily stress, helping you stay composed and focused under pressure. Breathwork can help manage stress and anxiety by activating the body's parasympathetic nervous system. It can also help reduce feelings of depression, anger, and confusion and increase feelings of comfort and alertness.
