Choreographer Yuki Chung is Looking for 3 to 6 London-Based Dancers
Choreographer Yuki Chung is looking for 3 to 6 London-based professional contemporary dancers, recent dance graduates, dance students, and participants who may not have professional dance training background but have an interest and passion in expressing themselves through body movements, for the 6th stage of development and 20-minute performance of On The Other Side《彼岸》as part of Resolution 2024.
Through this open call, we are also looking for potential long-term relationship for future developments and performances of On The Other Side《彼岸》.
About On The Other Side《彼岸》
The whole process of On The Other Side《彼岸》 started in 2020 and had been through 5 stages of research and development: Trio R&D, First Solo, Ensemble, Second Solo, and Duet. It has been presented in dance festivals such as Florence Dance Festival, and been commissioned by dance companies such as Brancaccio Danza supported by Italy Ministry of Culture. Its previous choreographic outcomes have predominantly been presented in the UK and Italy.
On The Other Side《彼岸》explores the emotional impacts on people who have experienced the death of others, the imagination of death, and the imaginary contact between the dead and the alive. In Resolution 2024, we will be presenting the 6th stage of On The Other Side《彼岸》, which brings on an added element and focus on RESILIENCE. This next stage walks through how we live through traumatic experience from sorrow, grief, and anger, to then build resilience. It unfolds that after trauma, we can re-find and regain power to become a new person who is stronger in face of future. We hope that through this performance, it does not only resonate with people who had found the strength to get up in their past, but also empower people who are still finding their strength.
