FEMALE DANCERS REQUIRED

For 30-minute performance, a display of devotion for Celine Dion, Love and Dance. All synthesizers, drum breakdowns, artificial wind and web-cams.

Performance date: Sunday 25 May
Venue: fabrik Potsdam - Closing night of the fabrik Potsdam Tanztage Festival

The production of this work is in line with the Tanztage Festival. We commence the day the festival commences, the 12 May, and we premiere as the last performance of the festival, the 25 May. We will have 14 days to assemble/create the piece. I emphasise this project will operate on a part-time basis.

There will be three en masse rehearsals as well as individual rehearsals to create the on-line aspect of the project.

Overall – this is an opportunity to make a dance work with a group of people we don’t know so well and experiment with the conditions under which we produce dance performances and the audiences we make them for. To let our hair down and forget about centring our bodies and minds and get whipped up in a soft flurry of epic-power ballads.

Skills Required: As this piece will be assembled/created and then performed in a very short period, dancers must be able to pick up material quickly. It is not necessary to be excessively experienced or virtuosic, just a basic understanding of jazz and contemporary movement. We encourage copying and following other dancers on stage. Our philosophy is, if you can’t quite get the steps right at least do something that resembles it.
