SEEKING VOLUNTEER "EXTRA" DANCERS FOR DANCE FILM ON RISK TAKING: REHEARSAL AND FILM SHOOT IN APRIL/MAY

THE PROJECT: Woman Versus is a film about a woman’s struggle to challenge the systems she was born into; and in the film those systems are represented by cars and trains. Essentially, the film deals with themes of oppression and the risks required to challenge it. The film will be shown in late June at the Go! Emerging Artists Commissioning Program Showcase at the STREB Lab for Action Mechanics.

STYLE OF DANCE: Style is contemporary/modern. Please see this video for work in progress for this film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQLm1Cm-v5g

DANCERS: I am looking for extra dancers for one scene taking place inside of a subway car. Dancers may also be needed to serve as "regular" (non-dancing) extras in a couple very short scenes (around 30 seconds).

DATES: Rehearsals will be held on Tuesdays, April 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th from 8:45pm to 10pm at SLAM, 51 North 1st Street in Brooklyn. The film shoot will be on April 30th and May 1st (call times TBA).

INQUIRIES: To inquire about participating, e-mail Justina Grayman at justina.kamiel@gmail.com. Confirm that you can attend all rehearsal and film shoot dates and include a reel or excerpt of prior contemporary/modern dance performance.
