Kay Prescott is a NYC-based videographer and video editor. She received her BA in Dance and Media with a minor in Arts Management from Marymount Manhattan College in 2024. Her passion for storytelling through video emerged during COVID when everything went digital.
A significant project she undertook was serving as the head videographer, editor, and archivist for Marymount Manhattan College’s Dance Department. In her role as their in-house videographer, she managed two cameras for regular concert dance shows: a stable camera for wide shots and a moving camera for close-ups, while also handling the livestream simultaneously. She was the main point of contact for all matters related to department archives and video footage. She took on the responsibility of distributing edited footage to choreographers, implementing file naming and organization systems, managing footage across multiple hard drives, and training other students to do similar tasks. During her three years working this position, she filmed over 20 concert dance shows and edited over 100 choreographic pieces. Notable works of hers have been featured in Dance Spirit Magazine and Dance Magazine.
Her role with Marymount’s archives led her to Urban Bush Women as a Multimedia Archive Intern. Here she focused on creating content with their archives. This experience deepened her knowledge of archiving and sparked her passion for preservation. Her love for dance, film, and preservation all come together when she creates dance videos.
