Dance Society: Tech Officer

Dance has been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember. From an early age, I was deeply committed to dance, dedicating myself to training and honing my skills at Urdang Associates, where I developed a strong foundation in professional dance techniques. Alongside my passion for movement, I have cultivated another deep interest—filmmaking and media production. As a film and media student at UCL, I have access to industry-standard equipment and firsthand experience in professional filming, editing, and production. Now, I want to unite these two passions to elevate the creative and technical aspects of the UCL Dance Society.

My Vision as Tech Officer

As a Tech Officer, my goal is to bring a fresh, dynamic, and professional approach to society’s technical and media output. The way dance is presented and documented is just as important as the performance itself. A well-executed film, live stream, or promotional content can transform how dance is perceived, celebrated, and remembered. I am currently working with the Film Society right now to create varsity featurettes for the Kings vs UCL sports. By blending my expertise in filmmaking with my dance background, I aim to ensure that our performances are not only visually stunning but also widely accessible and professionally archived.

How My Experience Will Benefit the Role

1. Professional Filming & Editing

My experience in film production means I can deliver high-quality visual content that does justice to the immense talent in society. I have worked

A little about me: I’m Karl. I’m a first year Computer Science BSc student. I started dancing at the start of the academic year, when I joined this society. My favorite styles are breaking, hip hop and house (even though I can’t 😭😭😭).

Since I’m currently in my first year of a computer science bachelors. I think it goes without saying that I’m interested in and somewhat proficient with tech.

I’ve been to all of the Dance Society shows this academic year, either as a member of the audience or a dancer. So I know how important videos are for dancers and their friends/family.

I already plan on going to all of the dance shows next year, so why not also be in charge of recording them.

Although I may not have the most experience when it comes to professionally editing videos, I know that I am capable of picking it up quickly.

Since I’m also a bit of a perfectionist, I’ll make sure that the videos are as close to perfect as possible, so they capture your—the dancers’ perfection 💅💅.

I hope to see you next year in the committee 🤗🤗🤗!
