Exploring Elevated Dance Enjoyment through the Hybridity of the Lights Dance Festival
As a film scholar and practitioner, I am interested in how a hybrid festival format, which integrates both dance film and live performance, can make dance more accessible, whilst elevating the spectators' experience of the art form. Through the Lights Dance Festival, I will continue my research on how media hybridity allows for more imaginative ways of experiencing and appreciating dance, and challenge the way we think of festival space, screen, and collaboration.
