Online Audition for Berlin-based, Performer as Understudy for Anima May in Underwater Dance Installation.
Online Audition for Berlin-based, professional dancer/performer as an understudy for Anima May in underwater dance installation.
KLAR is an underwater dance installation and crowdfunding campaign by performing artist Anima May in collaboration with OEOO environmental organization.
Anima May is a Swiss-Italian and Berlin–based performing artist specialized in contemporary dance and choreography. KLAR was born due to her concern about the plastic pollution of our oceans. The need to raise awareness about this important and urgent issue had sparked the idea to create an underwater dance installation.
