Call for female identifying professional dancers


For the new project Weaver, choreographer and performer Anne-Mareike is looking for two female identifying dancers.

 

The creation period will take place in Berlin, in Luxembourg and in a residency abroad between October 2022 and March 2023, with the Premier in Luxembourg end of March 2023 and further performances in 2023.

 

About the project :

With "Weaver", a dance piece for three female identifying dancers, choreographer Anne-Mareike Hess would like to use the image of weaving and its inherent creative potential of connecting and net-working and transfer it into a contemporary choreographic reflection on our society today - a story in which past and future, individual and collective fate of the female body are interwoven into the dense fabric of social togetherness. 

"Weaver" is a continuation of the research along the deconstruction of gender stereotypes.

 

 

Requirements:

  • Background and training in contemporary dance techniques
  • Experience and interest in improvisation with the focus on working with imagination and emotional states as a base to create a specific and highly articulated movement vocabulary.
  • Feeling comfortable gathering material from the improvisations that can be repeated
  • Strong stage presence
  • Feeling comfortable with using your voice and singing
  • Feeling comfortable with contributing to the research and creation by engaging in the topic, thinking along with the team and searching for a personal connection to the topic
  • Professionalism, ability to work independently and in a team

 

What I offer:

  • Paid 8-9 weeks of rehearsals, in Berlin and in Luxembourg and in a residency abroad.
  • Accommodation provided in Luxembourg and at the residency abroad
  • Note : accommodation in Berlin is not provided
  • Travels related to the project
  • Work in a great team of artists
  • Touring of the work after the premier

 

When:

Rehearsals will be planned in different blocks between october and december 2022 and February and March 2023

Premiere: 24.-26 of March Neimënster Luxembourg
