Polytechnic Institute is excited to announce the 2013-2014 DANCE MOViES
Commission. This is an open call for artists, choreographers, dancers,
and filmmakers working in the genre of dance for the screen.
The deadline for the proposals is February 15, 2013.
The Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC), founded by

development of the genre of dance film and video in the Americas.

Type of Work Supported
The EMPAC DANCE MOViES Commission supports the creation of new works for
the screen which vary widely in content and form, yet are united by the
fact that the image on the screen was crafted by, or in collaboration
with, a choreographer or movement-based artist. The works supported
combine the possibilities and range of the moving image in all its
technological facets with the physicality and movement-based modes of
dance. Examples of works supported by the commission may include films
that are narrative-driven, using the conventions of filmic
story-telling; some may be abstract works which explore the inherent
sympathies between the time-based, visual aspects of both dance and
film; some may not even feature “dance” as is generally defined, but
contain a powerful sense of how movement unfurls in time and how we
create meaning from the dance of images; some may take advantage of
tools such as computer processing, motion capture, simulation,
animation, and image processing.
