Proposal Outcome
Grant Description
My hope is to receive funding to order a DJI Osmo Pocket Action Camera. This is an extremely small camera that is hand held and can record video and photographs with a very stable and reliable display. This camera will allow me to record movement anywhere and everywhere with such ease, truly letting the world become my stage. The ability to create dance in less restrictive spaces is truly a goal of mine, as I am extremely interested by how the movement we engage in every day, whether that be walking, working out, or even witnessing the movement of nature can actually be understood as dance.
