Performance Project:
Call for Movers

What Does Dance Do? (and why does it matter?)
conceived and directed by Nicola Bullock
part of
DANCE WORDS BODIES // An evening of movement research
Friday 20 December @ 19.00 @ Tanz Tangente

WHAT?
For the past two months I have been researching with other dance enthusiasts topics related to the questions “What does dance do, and why does it matter?” Through embodied pedagogies we have explored ways that dance matters in our lives and our world. In this performance project we will build on some of our discoveries and share our findings in a 10-15 minute performance.

HOW?
The rehearsal process will take place over 3-4 sessions of getting to know each other, moving together, and creating the performance. I will lead the warm-ups and bring ideas to work with, but a big part of the performance will come from the improvisations, compositions, and written prompts the participants generate.

WHO?
People who are passionate about dance including dancers, choreographers, and dance teachers, as well as folks with less dance background who have experience in creative processes and performance and love to dance :)

WHEN AND WHERE?
Rehearsal Week 1: Thursday 5 December @ 12.00-15.00 @ Tanz Tangente
Rehearsal Week 2: EITHER Tuesday 10 December @ 14.00-17.00 @ Theaterhaus Mitte OR Thursday 12 December @ 12.00-15.00 @ Tanz Tangente
Rehearsal Week 3: Thursday 19 December @ 12.00-15.00 @ Tanz Tangente
Dress rehearsal: Friday 20 December @ 16.30-18.00 @ Tanz Tangente
Performance: Friday 20 December @ 19.00 @ Tanz Tangente

OTHER INFO
There is no funding for this project and the event is free, so unfortunately no one will get paid.
The performance will be recorded and available to participants afterwards.
**The only requirement to participate is attendance at one rehearsal/week!**

INTERESTED?
If you would like to participate, please write me an email answering the question: What does dance do? You can answer from any perspective: personal, societal, historical, cultural, environmental, etc. Be creative, have fun, and share a little about your experience with dance in your own life as well as how you see it connecting to larger (eco)systems. Please also confirm that you can commit to 1 rehearsal/week (and the dress rehearsal) in December.
