Seeking Performers for the Exhibition “The Soul Expanding Ocean #2: Isabel Lewis”, Curated by Chus Martínez
Seeking performers for the exhibition “The Soul Expanding Ocean #2: Isabel Lewis”, curated by Chus Martínez in Venice
From September 17 to October 17, 2021, Ocean Space will host a live exhibition by the artist Isabel Lewis (b. 1981, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic), which explores Venice, the sea and memories related to it through the Church of San Lorenzo, where Ocean Space is located. This new performance will draw on storytelling, singing, and dancing as tools to explore the history of merchants, trade routes, encounters with cultures, indigenous traces, and tales of the city.
We are looking for 10 students and 10 professional performers to participate in a durational group performance that will take place every Friday and Saturday from September 17 to October 17, with additional rehearsals on September 13 and 14.
CANDIDATES
Lewis is seeking both professional and student dancers, actors, and singers of all ages, and we strongly encourage
applicants 40 years old and over. Performers can have either classical or contemporary backgrounds, with previous performance experience or well-established physical practices and are interested in and familiar with improvisation.
A strong technical foundation is appreciated but more importantly, we want to work with performers who are willing to explore a non-traditional (though highly structured) composition and who are grounded, calm, and nuanced in their movement, but still have the capacity to be explosive and precise within subtle and small movements. In addition, the performers will need to feel comfortable using their voice in public speaking and singing.
This is a paid position.
Application deadline: Monday, June 28, 2021.
