Jeannette Ginslov has facilitated Screendance Workshops internationally since 2010 in South Africa, Rwanda, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, USA, Hong Kong, Portugal, UK, South America and Germany. From 2014, this has included the use of Augmented Reality (AR) and interaction design. Since 2019-2021 she has conducted online Screendance workshops for the University of Cape Town 3rd Yr and Honours Choreography Students.
The workshops provide a unique opportunity for filmmakers, digital media and dance practitioners to explore, the crossover of cinematic techniques, dance, choreography, editing and interaction design. Participants learn to work in teams, to shoot, edit, produce and share their own screendance videos, documentaries or teasers for screen, online platforms or AR. Learning occurs through a step by step series of exercises, where participants explore choreography and movement for both dancer and camera and within a few hours come to grips with the technology, using a hands on approach. The focus is on non linear storytelling, the moving body, its digital and somatic materiality, the amplification of affect and the haptic through the choreography, shoot, edit and AR interaction design.

Testimonial from TANZRAUSCHEN – International Dance on Screen Festival 2016, Wuppertal Germany
"The Screendance and Augmented Reality workshop is an exceptional experience in the field of performing and visual arts specifically related to the field of dance. We received an inspiring overview of new media applications and experienced the fusion between digital art and dance on screen. The application of the Augmented Reality technology in this context generates never before-seen choreographic formations, which serve as a substantial tool to broaden the existing perception of dance and choreography. With the use of smartphones and tablets the workshop opened up new perspectives of storytelling and choreography."
Testimonial from Lee Lappin, Creative Director of The Space, Scottish School of Contemporary Dance, Dundee Scotland.
"Jeannette’s approach to teaching and learning enabled the learners to seek direction, feedback and training whilst remaining autonomous and self-directed during their creative projects. I observed the learners confidence and enthusiasm for using film expand, and also the use of technology in general. The outcomes were of excellent standard and quality which is a testament to the work undertaken."

HANNAH MACLURE CENTRE 2015 Dundee Scotland
As part of the HMC Decoding Space Exhibition where P(AR)ticipate was installed April
Feedback: Tom deMajo Director Creator of the AR project Other by Quartic Llama "I really enjoyed it! First off I appreciated the interactive camerawork sessions, especially the constant connection with a moving subject. It was a good recalibration of subject/object and recorder/participator relationship. Nice! Second, it was also great for me to finally have a playful reason to use Aurasma and AR. It was fun working in a group. I really like your approach to using AR."
Feedback: Clare Brennan Curator Hannah Maclure Centre."It was wonderful to explore the medium of AR in a creative way. I was pleasantly surprised at how well our students (who are rarely required to move/be physical) took to the tasks. I would put that down to your well-paced and clearly instructed activities. It was easy for them to make connections between the work they are used to doing and the challenge to expand those ideas to collaborate with other disciplines (film/dance etc). It was accessible whilst remaining challenging and fun (a tricky thing to do!)."

Feedback: Dr Corinne Jola Lecturer Psychology Abertay University. "I thought your instructions when we were recording each other and emotions were really good. I mostly enjoyed the actual experience of using the Aurasma App. The actual doing is inspiring."

Feedback: Pernille Spence Lecturer DJCAD University of Dundee & Performance Artist. "I also enjoyed it very much. I think this could easily have been a full day workshop. You avoid technological novelty but have developed a beautifully creative way for people to interact with technology, story and physical experience."
