Why This Matters

Who It's For

How We Work

We Value

Media is memory.

Our collective believes in storytelling that captures not only what happened, but how it felt.
When performance, sound, and design meet through multiple creative lenses, documentation becomes something more—an archive of perspectives that connects audiences now and in the future.

We don’t just record moments; we help shape how stories live on in movement, sound, and community memory.

Artists, educators, arts organizations, and creative entrepreneurs who want media that captures the essence, not just the footage.

We bring together specialists across video, animation, sound, and interactive design, so you can stay rooted in your creative work while we handle the tech, logistics, and storytelling flow.

Common needs:

Promo reels • Live performance documentation • Behind-the-scenes storytelling • Installations and events • Campaign and course content • Artist or community features.

Each project begins with listening to your vision, your values, your community. From there, we build the right team for your story: videographers, editors, designers, and sound artists working in sync.

  • Care, consent, clarity. Your people and process come first.
     

  • Playful rigor. We try things, iterate, and make it sing.

  • Embodied tech. Tools that move with you, not against you.

Video Editing Timeline

Liliana Gomez,

Managing Director of BlakTinx Dance Festival

Working with Dances with Tech was a flawless collaboration. I asked for clear, nice video footage that each choreographer can take with them for any future submissions.

 

What Dances With Tech delivered was WOW, WOW, WOW, beyond that, each video was perfect, the lighting was bright, close ups at exactly the areas that needed it, the sound was crystal clear — it’s the best videography of dance I have ever received back.

 

Watching it made me feel like I was in the audience. Ri is incredibly talented, the recording of our festival is magnificent. Thank you so much for this gift.
