In search of female performers for a performance art piece to take place at The Kitchen (NYC) by artist Gordon Hall in May 2025. 

Performers need to have the upper body strength to lift and move objects weighing around 120 lbs. No dance training is necessary but one must be able to carefully move fragile and heavy objects and feel comfortable being watched by an audience. Weight-lifting, body-building, and art-handling/moving would all be good preparation for this role, as the performance involves the use of props that hold the performer's bodies while being carried around the gallery. 

Performances will take place on May 9, 10, 17, 24, and 31. Rehearsals will occur on April 28 - 30, times can be flexible. This is an ensemble piece with seven performers, two in this lifting role. 

Trans inclusive, seeking a diverse cast.
