This collection of video essay exercises were commissioned by ‘Embodying the Video Essay’ workshop hosted at Bowdoin College, July 2023, a collaboration between The University of British Columbia, Bowdoin College, University of Leeds, University of Rochester, and the University of St. Andrews, which was funded by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) Connection grant, and devised by Dayna McLeod.
These exercises purposefully rely on your understanding of embodiment and offer no academic reading list or reference. How do you engage with embodiment? How do you define it? How/is this significant to your work?
If you make one of your own, or use them in your classes and pedagogies, do let us know at: WaysOfDoingCollective[at]gmail.com
Watch examples of all of these exercises.
