Project III - Embodied Earth

 
Three female presenting people lay down amid a landscape of fruit Project III

Project III (People's Performance Project) is seeking to commission a Choreographer to create a site-specific, immersive, full-length work centered around climate justice. 

The Project is a pilot of our first series of programming, Embodied Earth. Learn more about the Project series here:

The selected choreographer will work to create a 30-40 minute length piece in collaboration with an installation artist and an urban farming research expert. Open mindedness, creativity, and a passion for climate activism are strongly encouraged. The choreographer will be able to lead casting for a team of up to five performers - who will also recieve a stipend - of any genre in junction with the Artist, Researcher, and Project III creative team. The intensive production period will be from September 3 - Seeptember 11 (schedule flexible depending on casting) with an on-site tech rehearsal on September 12, an invited dress on September 13, and free-and-open-to-the-public programming from September 14-15 (these dates are firm and will require FULL DAY availability). 

To apply, please send professional photo(s), bio, resume, website links, and samples of choreography to kasey.broekema@projectiii.com and CC nicole@embodiedearth.org. Answer the following questions (brevity and informality are fine; we are prioirtizing people who are idea boxes over experience or grammatical execution of the application): 

1. How do you envision incorporating live audiences into a site-specific work? How have you or could you approach activating a landscape?

2. The Choreographer will create the work from scratch alongside an Artist and Researcher. How would you approach organically incorporating the objects, props, and ideas of your colleagues into your work?

3. Tell us something about yourself that we wouldn't know from your application/resume!

 

Don't hesitate to reach out to Project III with any questions about the application process. You can reach the emails listed above, or DM questions to @project.iii on Instagram.
