30th
Involved @ Studio 303
Hello Everyone! Wants&needs is now accepting proposals for a night of dance they are curating in collaboration with Studio 303. We are calling the event involved, and hope that you would be interested in submitting something yourself or could pass this message along to those you think would be.
The purpose of Involved is for dance artists to create work that confront the audience’s relationship to performance. We are looking for pieces that involve audience participation, and choreographies which offer the spectator a unique way in which to view dance work. The use of or approach to the audience should be a central component of the projects being submitted. Artists can use the audience to create the soundtrack of the choreography, move the audience in the space, utilize the audience as performers, break the fourth wall between the spectators, etc. (these are just ideas, feel free to come up with your own, the goal of involved is to question the idea of “audience” and how it relates to your personal artistic vision)
We will be accepting both new and previously performed works, as long as they suit the theme of the show. Interested applicants are asked to submit a description of the proposed choreography (max 1 page) as well as a DVD example of either the work being submitted or an example of previous work. Pieces will be selected based on their artistic ideas and their creativity in interrogating the audience/performer relationship. Applicants may be contacted to further discuss their proposal.
Please send submissions by March 15 (postmarked) to: Studio 303, 372 Ste-Catherine West, Montreal QC, H3B1A2
Looking forward to reading your submissions,
Wants&needs danse
