Buckminster Fuller’s experimental collaborations with students at Black Mountain College in the summers of 1948-49, the piece will re-create Fuller’s earliest experiments as a silent movement work using structured improvisation. 
Nine performers, male and female, with a background in contact improvisation, modern dance and/or movement work are sought.  The performances will be rehearsed with choreographer Laurel Atwell, in collaboration with Liz Glynn.  Compensation will be $300 for three performacnes and related rehearsals.

AUDITIONS Monday, September 19th & Tuesday, September 20th
REHEARSALS October 16th-November 4th
PERFORMANCES November 5th, 6th and 7th, between 10AM and 6PM
