New video: A Little Bit Of Betty Blue

Early this year, excited by the beautiful empty space of the warehouse Ludwig will soon be moving into, Emma, Tim and Cass ventured out late one night to do a little filming with the Canon 5D Mark II. We drove our cars in to provide lighting and lit a row of little candles for atmosphere. It was all very dusty and raw but with the music from the Betty Blue soundtrack and some of Dan Kaplan’s haunting harmonica echoing around the space we were very inspired. Sensitively edited together, this little video gives you a taste of that evening.

Moments” is a trailer for an epic online dance adventure directed by Jon M Chu (director of Step Up 2: The Streets) and produced by Paramount Digital Entertainment. It is also worth checking out their performances on SYTYCD and at the Oscars.


WIRED and dance in the digital age

Ludwig are big fans of the magazine WIRED (UK edition). Such big fans that a yearly subscription was not a luxury but a budget essential.

The latest May issue has many interesting articles for those invested in the future of dance in the digital age. “Dance Goes Transmedia” is a look at the group The LXD who are finding new and brilliant ways of engaging and interacting with their audience via the internet. “How Cheryl Cole Went Virtual” looks at putting 3D virtual performers on stage with live artists. Under “The Creative Crowd’s Greatest Hits” you can read about the most innovative ways to get your arts project funded through crowd/fan-based online funding.

We at Ludwig gobble up this magazine cover to cover. A must! www.wired.co.uk

The Sony EX1R is out of its box…

It is a beautiful camera, the Sony EX1R and it is with trembling, excited hands that Ludwig are taking it on its first dance filming experiences. Watch this space as very soon its wonderful footage will be gracing the video page on Ludwig’s site…


Dynamic Performing Arts pushing students further

Ludwig has been engaged recently to choreograph contemporary solos for five students at Perth’s Dynamic Performing Arts dance school.

Veterans of the NSW Eisteddfods, Tim and Emma remember them with great fondness. Eisteddfods are a wonderful way for young dancers to learn more about their art form, gain performance experience, push and perfect their technique and skill and get exposure to other talented dancers.

It is wonderful to have the opportunity to open a few young dancers’ minds to new ways of moving and expressing themselves.

Ludwig are keen to watch the progress and development of these dancers as they work on the material given them and make the choreography their own.


Tim’s latest choreography

Tim is creating a new choreography to Baz Luhrmann’s “The Sunscreen Song”. Ludwig are having a twisted time in the studio playing around with extreme and quirky movements. You can see some more images of “The Sunscreen Song” in our gallery.
