last week i went downtown and visited the office where i worked last year. reminder - i worked for the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival & Philly Fringe. the festival spans the first two weeks of september. SO - while i was there they told me about a piece in the festival that is coming here from Austria. it's a piece by Austrian choreographer Willi Dorner called Bodies in Urban Spaces. AND he is using all local dancers for the piece. and whadaya know - they still needed dancers as of last week when i saw them. so i said 'pick me pick me!'
they explained they wanted dancers with a background in contact improv... um helloooo dd and lr and hh. apparently there was a workshop/audition thing back in april when us kids were still in school, but some dancers have since dropped out. so they asked for my resume to show to the choreographer, just to make sure i was legit enough. well, the peeps down at the festival just emailed me to say 'let's do it!' so here i go - my first paying gig with a foreign choreographer, probably first gig in phl. haha toughest audition yet... juuuust kidding.
here's the info: Friday 9/5 at 12:30p and 7p, Saturday 9/6 at 1p... it's FREE... it starts at Love Park (ya know, the LOVE statue... 16th and JFK Blvd.), and continues to take you throughout the city (site specific? yes.)
this will give you an idea as to what i will be doing throughout the city as part of this piece:
so come see me! more info about the piece, and about the whole festival is here http://www.pafringe.org/2008/details.cfm?id=3135
love love love you.
