POP! ART–Dance Photography Workshop

# POP! ART 📸🩰 The Artist Series Continued...

DPL is delighted to continue our artist-inspired photography series with our next workshop: POP! ART

Step into a world of bold colour, graphic composition, playful expression and movement as we take inspiration from the iconic works of Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and the vibrant visual culture of the 1950s and 60s Mod movement.

From Warhol's repetition and colour-blocking to Lichtenstein's comic-book aesthetics, we'll explore how dance photography can become something more than an image of a performance. Think striking silhouettes, exaggerated poses, graphic shadows, repetition, symmetry and a splash of Pop Art attitude!

Together we'll investigate:
◼️ Repetition & Multiplicity (Inspired by Warhol's silkscreens: capturing repeated movements, sequences and variations of the dancing body)
◼️ Comic Book Composition (Inspired by Lichtenstein: bold framing, exaggerated gestures, dramatic angles and expressive movement)
◼️ Mod Movement & Aesthetics (Exploring the clean lines, geometric patterns, playful styling and graphic silhouettes of mid-century fashion and visual culture)

This workshop will be led by Michelle Buckley (professional dancer & co-founder/director of DPL) with the help of Nick Gregan (professional photographer & author) behind-the-lens. Together, we'll guide you through a playful and experimental exploration of dance photography, transforming the moving body into bold, graphic and visually striking compositions.

Expect a little Warhol, a touch of Lichtenstein and plenty of POP! Join us for a workshop filled with colour, creativity, and experimentation as we reimagine dance through the lens of Pop Art.
