The hardest part is getting started. Jump into a supportive, fun, guided dance filmmaking lab and to get those ideas rolling!

1 week away:
Sat April 18th
9am-12pm
Downtown Phoenix, AZ

We will gather in a local coffee shop and use the neighborhood as our playground to try on ideas for dance films - ideas, shots, movement.

Whether you've made hundreds of dance films, or are unsure how to pick up a camera, the only requirement is that you are prepared to dance with and in front of the camera.

Geared towards but not limited to dancers who've been dancing for a while, come dance with cameras next Saturday!

Rsvp asap - only a few spots left! >>>

I've spent 10 minutes trying to find the right words to describe the last 2 days on this truly kind and collaborative film set.

It was such a joy to have the opportunity to be a camera operator on an FX6 cinema camera (with a great DP and 1st AC!) on a deeply meaningful project written and directed by the incredible - a short film that brought together folks of different abilities to be funny, irreverent, and create their own mischief.

I appreciated how much care was offered to the talent, cast, and crew on this all volunteer film set throughout the shoot.

Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this, to stretch out of my filmmaking comfort zone (I learned so much), and to live in a little pocket of creative joy for this tiny sliver of time. Big shoutout to Rachel Delovino of The AZ Dance Experience for offering community, growth opportunities, and for your neverending producing magic.

Here are some quick snaps from my phone camera bts.

You have a dance film idea. Or a question. Or a feeling you keep circling.

But you’re waiting.....for the right gear, the right time, the right conditions…

What if you didn’t?

This Dance Filmmaking Prototyping Lab is about testing ideas now.

In 3 hours, we’ll:
• clarify what you’re making + why
• map simple, filmable shots
• run short outdoor filming experiments

Not polished scenes. Not pressure. Just real-time discovery.

This is for professional dancers ready to explore how movement + camera + environment actually work together.

April 18 | 9am–12pm
Dark Hall Coffee (Phoenix)
10 spots - RSVP required

Come experiment. Leave with direction.

What’s your biggest documentation struggle right now?

If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone.
Many artists are creating incredible work...but documenting, organizing, and sharing it can feel overwhelming.

That’s exactly why I created Document Your Work With Ease, a hands-on workshop designed to help artists:

• capture better photo & video documentation

• organize media so you can actually find it later

• learn simple editing tools for reels, grants, and promotion

• build a sustainable system you can keep using long after the class

📍 Phoenix Center for the Arts
📅 Starts March 19
⏰ 5 spots left

Bring your phone, your curiosity, and your creative work.

Let’s make documenting your work feel doable, maybe even enjoyable!

Artists: your work deserves better than living in your camera roll.

Have you ever thought:
“I wish I had filmed that moment.”
“I know I took a photo of this somewhere…”
“Why can’t I find the footage when I need it?”

Making the work and documenting the work are two different skills...and most artists were never taught the documentation part.

After documenting hundreds of performances and creative projects, I’ve developed simple systems that help artists capture, organize, and share their work with ease.

I’ll be sharing these tools in a 4-week hands-on workshop at Phoenix Center for the Arts:

Document Your Work With Ease
📅 Thursdays | March 19 – April 16
🕖 7:00–8:30 PM

We’ll cover:
📸 Capturing your work
🗂 Organizing your media
✂️ Editing simple documentation
🌍 Preparing media for portfolios, grants, and promotion

✨ Small class (6 artists) for personalized guidance.

5 spots currently available.
Bring your smartphone and any tools you already use (laptop, camera, etc.)

"The thing I regret most as an artist is not having my work beautifully documented."

Some pieces disappear.

Some live on because someone thought carefully about how they were filmed.

There’s nothing wrong with a wide-shot archive.

But if you want documentation with care:
camera placement, diagonals, audience proximity, dress rehearsal vs. show night, future dance-for-camera possibilities... that takes conversation.

Filming isn’t just pressing record.
It’s collaboration.

If you have:
• A spring performance
• A residency showing
• A grant-funded project
• A piece you may restage later

Reach out early.
Six to twelve months out is ideal.
Next week? Tell me now.

We can plan.
We can build it intentionally.
Payment plans are available.

Your choreography deserves to be seen fully.

DM me to start the conversation.

Dance community looks like knowing the names of many people in the room.
Hugs. Catching up. The exchange of collective energy. And...“How is your body doing today?”

At the Mitote Dance Intensive, I signed up to dance... but due to a minor injury, I had to shift how I showed up. I danced when I could, and when I couldn’t, I picked up my camera as a way to stay connected to the action of the space.

The gift of witnessing. Of being a part of cultural dance exchange from Mexico to AZ.

These images aren’t official documentation, just personal frames from someone weaving in and out of the experience, participating the best way I could that day.

Huge thank you to Zarina Mendoza for your continual generosity. Truly. (If you’re local, go take her Wednesday night class.)

And deep gratitude to .ctz and .arambula.73 for offering new neural pathways for our bodies and philosophical nuggets for our minds. The rigor. The nuance. The power.

Grateful to be in rooms like this.

Wowww! We love seeing young dancers shine as they perform for family, friends, and community like Friday night's show for . Check out this beautiful lighting and professional setup at NVAA Shadow Mountain. So much hard work goes into training and rehearsals for the show. Great work dancers (way to go and )

Thanks for trusting Dances With Tech to document your dance memories to look back on for years to come.

Have you ever gotten frustrated trying to solve tech issues by googling and asking ChatGPT?

What if a friendly face (me) stopped by to meet in person or hopped ok a quick zoom to answer anything computers or cameras?

I'm curious if having a person who can explain tech in easy to understand language making house calls is a service people are interested in.

We are talking computer questions - website basics - video or photo set ups - editing photos and videos - media storage - software programs - backing up files - archiving work - all your weird random tech questions...

So tech house calls?
In your space. At your pace.

Is this something you’d book?

Comment YES or DM me.
