Call to Unemployed Artists

Choreographer/artist Lydia Bell is hiring 3 unemployed or underemployed artists to work as dancers in a new performance piece, “work for pay.” The choreography will be made collaboratively over the course of 4-6 weeks, and performed as an installation at FEAST, an ongoing art/dinner event in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. NO DANCE EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. The dancers’ marketable skills and resumes will be used to build the choreography so that the final performance will in some way advertise the dancers’ skills to the audience. The piece will continue to be performed at various Brooklyn events until dancers have found employment. Dancers will be paid $8/hour for rehearsals in Bushwick (approx 4-6 hours a week for the next month). Read more about the project here and contact lydia.m.bell at gmail dot com if you are interested in participating.

Sha Xin Wei & Clarinda Mac Low at Roulette

I’m participating in this workshop/performance tomorrow night:

HARVESTWORKS INSIDE CONCERTS: Gestures and Responsive Media            Friday May 15 – Zach Layton / Sha Xin Wei, 8.30PM

ROULETTE, 20 Greene Street, (between Canal & Grand)
$15 General Admission, Roulette members FREE
$10 Harvestworks members, students, seniors and under 3

Sha Xin Wei, with Clarinda Mac Low, will present, Ouija, an open workshop/seminar experiment with dancers in responsive media. Ouija is a phenomenological experiment about gesture, intention and collective vs. individual agency. It uses the forms of a contemporary dance and movement art workshop to explore the medium of movement and media.

“work for pay” is runner-up at FEAST!

On Saturday at FEAST, work for pay was awarded $400 in funding! Thanks to all who came and supported the project. Now I am moving forward with finding the rest of the funding ($300–read full project description and budget here) and 3 unemployed or underemployed artists to hire as dancers. Please, send me your fundraising ideas and jobless friends!
