Looking for TWO DANCERS  - to accompany my performative lecture presentation

on April 20, 2013, between 3:30 and 5pm on the panel of ‘Tempo and Tactics’ to be presented at the Conference of the Congress on Research in Dance "Tactical Bodies: The Choreography of Non-Dancing Subjects".

Conference Location: UCLA, Glorya Kaufman Hall - April 19–21, 2013

In my lecture I will reference the choreography of L. Chétouane’s ‘Sacré Sacre du Printemps’, its intentions and relation to contemporary theories of philosophy and physics. In cooperation with my theory based performance, that regards speech and dance in this case as complementary, I am looking for two trainees who perform simultaneously movements that follow the parameters that are drawn from Chétouane’s “space measuring” choreography.

Please note this is not a recreation of the former work but a transformation and improvisation of its movement type onto the actual situation of presentation.

The method, visual material and possible rehearsal can be discussed via email/skype or in person a few days ahead of the event.

This commission involves:
- Performance: about 20 to 30 min on April 20^th, scheduled to be between 3:30 - 5pm.
- Advanced meeting plus rehearsal some days ahead (according to dancer’s schedule)

- Honorarium.

Those interested, can be provided with some online video material to get an idea. Though I will arrive in L.A. a few days early to the conference, I would plan to be in contact before, for discussion, setting up working meeting and possible rehearsal.

 If you are interested please contact me as early as possible at: mojaeckel@gmail.com

I am student anthropologist. I wish to explore how ballet dancers experience performing from a personal perspective – the connection between mind, body and space (embodiment). I am thinking about possible theoretical approaches including habitus and phenomenology but these may change.

I am looking for dancers and choreographers who are interested in helping with my research. To find out how to help, go to my blog. thks... Mike
