Dirty Feet is calling for expression of interest from dancers for 2013 Choreographic Labs.
The Choreographic Lab provides a safe environment where early professionals can come together to explore their creative practice. The Lab builds relationships between artists, facilitates the development of methodology and skills, and can be the first steps towards the creation of new work.
The three choreographers below are the recipients of studio space offered as part of the Choreographic Lab for 2013. These choreographers are now seeking dancers to work with them in the studio.
Choreographer: Kirsty Fromholtz
March 11-22, Monday-Friday 9-3pm (times are flexible)
"I am interested in the extensive movement vocabulary that can be generated in collaboration with dancers using an intergrated approach. During the lab we will use a simple, highly structured score, to generate movement that explores the coincidences, moments of synchronicity and discourse that occur when juxtaposing the individual and the group."
Mentor: Elizabeth Ryan
Choreographer: Rob McCredie
May 13-24. Monday-Friday 9-6pm (times are flexible)
Rob is developing a new dance work in which the physical movement is specific and set, creating set content and structure, but within which the dancers are able to play and make choices about the timing of their actions and their relationships to others in the work. The balance of restrictions and freedom within the structure creates a metaphor for having to work within the limitations of the system around us, while learning how we can play within those limitations to find a sense of freedom for ourselves.
Mentor: Carlee Mellow
Choreographer: Tanya Voges
June 24-July 5, Monday- Friday 9-6pm (times are flexible)
Tanya Voges creates dnace theatre works which are inclusive, immersive and expand the theatrical space. This DirtyFeet Choreographic Lab will provide time to explore the collaboration with projection artists Kellie O'Dempsey using William Kentridge's concept of Erasure as inspiration.
Mentor: Kate Champion
All Choreographic Labs are at Shopfront Theatre, 88 Carlton Parade, Carlton, Sydney, NSW.
Dancers are required to become DirtyFeeters prior to commencement of Choreographic Lab.
