With social isolation, the screens that already occupied a lot of our daily lives have earned even more space and became necessary to compose new works. If, on the one side, the video dance was already exploring the body-image relationship for decades, on the other, many artists had to face, for the first time, a camera-oriented creation. Artists with different experiences gather to talk about the relationships between dance and screen, new media, and social isolation.
