WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE A SHORT FILM OF THE BEYOND TECHNIQUE RESIDENCY #2.

Set on Bundanon Trust’s magnificent Riversdale property overlooking the Shoalhaven River just 2 1/2 hours south of Sydney, the Beyond Technique Residency #2 will provide up to 27 artists with different physicality an opportunity to work intensively alongside some of Australia’s most respected dance practitioners including Ambassador to Bundanon’s Artist in Residency program, Philip Channells (Founder / Creative Director, Dance Integrated Australia), Lee-Anne Litton (Strings Attached) and filmmaker, Tim Standing (Daylight Breaks).

This 5-day program focuses on developing solo and ensemble practice and finishes with a showing of the works created during the week. We currently receive ZERO public funding for this project.

We're seeking your support to document the residency through film and photography and to make a short film. This will enable us to raise awareness of the program to attract future partners so we can continue providing this as an ongoing project.

This project is part of my vision to add to the changing cultural landscape of dance. Please help me achieve that goal to enable other dancers with different physicalities to be part of the journey. 

Where: Bundanon Trust’s Riversdale property on the NSW South Coast (near Nowra) at the Boyd Education Centre, 170 Riversdale Road, West Cambewarra NSW 2540.

More about Tim Standing / Daylight Breaks

OsteoGenuine by Matt Shilcock from Daylight Breaks on Vimeo.

Tim Standing’s interest in documentation began in his father’s photographic dark room around the age of 8. Through his teens he went on to both study and experiment with mixed format photography and light manipulation, to the point where he was regularly late for high school, and often covered in dangerous quantities of acetic acid and traces of silver halide salts. This distracted him from his academic studies for many years, and ultimately led him toward the pursuits of a young artist, specifically in photography…until his dad told him to “get a real job…!”.

Between the lines, his first real opportunity to roll up his sleeves and get behind a professional camera was on the job for Melbourne based production house Non Breaking Space Global (ex Big Time Media) under the guidance of Wayne Tindall (DOP/DIR), where we swiftly became interested and began adapting his skills in still photography, to begin his understanding of the art of motion pictures. He worked with Tindall for several years and was afforded a complete edit suite and camera kit by his teacher, which gave him the ability to found Daylight Breaks in 2005. His passion has grown, his experiences broadened, and he now continues to blend his art with his science within Daylight Breaks – a successful digital media production house, and documentary film company.

He feels he finally has a “real job”, and his work encompasses his personal artistic approach to storytelling and documentation with honesty and integrity.

Tim is currently producing and directing a feature-length documentary film for international release, and he has had the opportunity of working in his field with his most venerably esteemed, including Akram Khan, Barrack Obama, Ravi Shankar and Mary Robinson.

The Challenges

DANCE INTEGRATED AUSTRALIA currently receives no financial support from government funding agencies and yet it generates some of Australia's best and well attended skills development and performance projects for emerging and professional artists with different physicalities and experience of dance.

If we are unable to receive this financial support to document our work, we may not be able to run the program in future years.
