Screening of Dance For Camera short films and excerpts of work by New Mexico film and dance Makers

Dance for camera is one of several terms describing dance made expressly for the camera or film in which movement is the primary expressive element. Wild Dancing West 2013 highlights this lesser known genre with a one-hour screening of work by New Mexico film and dance makers, including Zsolt Palcza and Readymade Dance Theatre; Jennifer Predock-Linnell, Paniotis, Joyce Neimanas and Moira Ellis of QuickNoise; Marie-Michèle Jasmin-Bélisle of 8h51 Art Design Nouveau Cinema; Donna Jewell of Jewell & Co. Dance Theater; and current works by the Public Academy for Performing Arts’ Advanced Film and Contemporary Dance Ensemble, under the direction of Su Hudson and Naomi Elizabeth Montoya.

SITE UNSEEN
Choreography/stage direction by Naomi Elizabeth Montoya
Films directed by Su Hudson
Merging movement with diverse New Mexico landscapes through the unconventional angles captured by camera in dance for film, SITE UNSEEN is a multimedia dance performance exploring relationships humans have with the environment and with one other. The featured performance of Wild Dancing West’s Dance For Camera Weekend, the new work is by Albuquerque-based dancer/choreographer Naomi Elizabeth Montoya and filmmaker Su Hudson, artists who collaborate to create dance for camera, dance installations and multi-media dance performance pieces.

Su Hudson is an award winning filmmaker who has worked in the film industry as an independent filmmaker, a producer, and a film instructor for nearly twenty years. Naomi Elizabeth Montoya pulls from her background of ethnic and modern dance to choreograph, teach and direct. These collaborators’ films have been shown in international festivals such as Video Dança Film Festival in São Paolo, Brazil. Additionally, their work has toured from Albuquerque to St. Petersburg, Russia, and to Martha’s Vineyard with the International Experiments in Cinema. Colleagues on the faculty at the Public Academy for Performing Arts in Albuquerque, Su Hudson teaches film and Naomi Elizabeth Montoya teaches contemporary dance and directs PAPA’s Contemporary Dance Ensemble.
