About the workshop:
Presenting yourself online and sending audition videos is now often the reality instead of attending live auditions. Even though we are all used to seeing short clips on social media and we are all able to film with our mobile phones, it is still wise to have some guidance on how to show yourself at you best in a dance video. What makes your video stand out from the rest?
In this workshop, we will look at examples that you bring in, previous audition videos or one that you make specifically for this workshop and discuss how we can improve them for a future occasion. We will work hands-on and practice with each other. Between the first and the second session, participants are asked to work on a task themselves or as a group.
There will be time for personal feedback from the group and the teacher.
***Can you please send a dance video of yourself, so Nicola can watch it in advance, and maybe you already want to share a question about a topic you come across while making videos for auditions?
