DANCING WITH THE CAMERA: GABRI CHRISTA FEATURED ON GROOVIN’ GRIOT PODCAST

On this episode, we dive into the world of screendance with Professor Gabri Christa. She shares how her multidisciplinary beginnings as a mover and a filmmaker in Curaçao, as well as her embodied research into her Surinamese roots, helped her find innovative ways to merge her cinematographic and choreographic work. We talk through what it means to take the moving body seriously within the moving image medium, and how both spirituality and technology play important roles in this process.   

For our movement break, we take you to a Media Movement Salon hosted by the Movement Lab at Barnard (which Professor Christa helped found). Special thanks to Tatiana Vasquez and Evelyn Chen for helping to record the audio!
