Art in Motion is an engrossing collection of essays that examines various facets of academic and artistic research in the field of screendance. Originally presented during the International Screendance Conference at the Festival International de Video Danse de Bourgogne, these texts consider the choreography of moving images from a variety of angles, including somatic camera work, aesthetic and gestural analysis, and historical research that delves into cinema's earliest depictions of dance, as well as perspectives from contemporary screendance artists. The geographic diversity of the contributors, many of whom are translated into English for the first time in this volume, reflects the growing number of screendance scholars and artists around the world, providing valuable insights from France, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Brazil, Hungary, and the United States. Art in Motion adopts a broad definition of screendance that explores movement on screen and with the camera in many forms, within both the traditional dance film and beyond, while citing parallels between other artistic movements and practices that raise important questions about the role of screendance in moving image and choreographic cultures.
