jill sigman/thinkdance seeks 1-2 performers for an extended creative development process beginning in September, with new work to premiere in spring 2013 (date tbd). Tentatively titled “last days,” the new work is a full evening-length exploration of explosion, fatalism and mending, as well as ritual healing. The piece involves dancing and planting a micro-field. Performers will be paid a project fee.

We seek technically trained dancers with an appreciation of extensive and fine-grained process, strong performance presence, rich imaginative experience that informs their work, and comfort improvising in performance. We want dancers who represent the diversity of the world outside of dance: all genders, body types, races and ages are strongly encouraged. We urge you to look at online material to determine your interest in the work of the company:

Sep-Dec 2012: 2-3 times per week

Nov 16-18 2012: possible out of town showing

Jan-March 2013: 1-2 times/week per scheduling of the group
