A new dance/media production is currently looking for several dancers to join an upcoming project that explores the relationship between dance and interactive technologies. The work was recently workshopped during a one month residency at the Baryshnikov Arts Center.
Dancers should have strong technique and background in modern/contemporary dance. Dancers should also be comfortable experimenting with new ways of creating dance. The piece incorporates live dance with live computer programming, projection, and physical computing to create a new and exciting performance experience. Dancers should be available for rehearsals in December and January as we are preparing for a full length performance in the beginning of 2011. There will be further performance opportunities in addition to a 6-month residency starting in the summer of 2011. There is no pay available for the rehearsal period, but a performance stipend will be given with each performance.
If interested please email your resume to adam@adamscher.com with the subject "dance audition", and we will forward you the audition information.
