'Singlish' Dancer Auditions 31 Jan 2017 & Open Exchange 1 Feb 2017
Seeking two dancers in Singapore for my newest dance-theatre work ‘Singlish’ and we are also holding an open exchange to meet dancers and actors in Singapore for future productions.
(1) Singapore Audition for Contemporary and Traditional Dancers
(2) Open Exchange for Dancers of All Forms
Annalouise Paul Dance Theatre (Australia) is seeking two professional female or male dancers – a Contemporary dancer and a Traditional Indian dancer for a new dance-theatre work, SINGLISH by Australian choreographer, Annalouise Paul.
This new Australia-Singapore collaboration, ‘Singlish’ (working title) explores identities in transition through loss and erosion of languages and literature, which shape culture and identities. Using phonetics of local languages and creoles, rich choreographic scores will be drawn from grassroots writings, popular fiction and literature and dance as an unspoken language that can transcend literal meaning.
Essential: Strong technique and professional performance experience. Dancers need to be willing to explore new processes through task-based work, improvisation and work with spoken text. Basic use of a language other than English for both dancers is preferred. Traditional Indian dance form may be any style, e.g. BN, Kathak, Odissi etc.
