Videography for Success

Join us online on December 1, 2020, 6:30- 7:30 pm PST for an informative workshop for the dance community! 
​
Videography For Success is a workshop designed for cultural artists in the dance community interested in using video documentation that takes you to the next level. Join Major Julian (Parangal Dance Company) and Jason Ditzian (Narluga Arts) as they share marketing and grant writing experiences and tips to improve the promotion, documentation, and writing of your art practice. Learn how Parangal successfully uses video to promote their creative work online, and how storytelling is key to creating and editing a compelling video sample for grant applications and more. Anne Huang, Executive Director of Worlds Arts West, will facilitate this one-hour online workshop.

Major Julian’s musical journey started over 3 decades ago, having trained in classical and contemporary music and performing with prestigious artists such as concert pianist Sally Christian as well as performed with the Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Prof. Timothy M. Smith. He has spent the last 8 of the 21 years in the San Francisco bay area's filipino folk dance community focused on music and dance of the indigenous people of the Philippines; applying a pragmatic approach marrying the fine art of music and the performing art of dance. Currently, Major moonlights as the Music Director of Parangal Dance Company, supporting their Mission to discover, preserve, educate, and inspire as they travel the world. 

Jason Ditzian is an internationally touring clarinetist and Executive Director of Narluga Arts, a grants management and consulting firm working with socially-engaged artists and organizations. Narluga Arts specializes in hybridized, complex, collaborative projects, working with an extraordinary cohort of multidisciplinary artists who believe art has the power to change the world.
