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.
