Subject: Call for Performer/ Movers - FIELD at Dance Roulette
To:Hello,I hope this finds you well! I am the production manager for a piece that is being directed by Andrew Schneider (Wooster Group, AVAN LAVA) that will be taking place at Dance Roulette on February 10. We are looking for movers/ performers to participate in the dance section of the piece.Below is our call for performers, if you can forward along to your students, we would much appreciate it!Please be in touch if you have further questions or if you need any more information from us in order to forward along.Thanks so much!Emily ReaProduction ManagerFIELDCALL FOR PERFORMERSHi,
My name is Andrew Schneider. I'm making a large-scale dance piece called FIELD which will premiere at Roulette in Brooklyn as part of the curated series DanceRoulette. I am co-choreographing the piece with Vanessa Walters (Fischerspooner, etc.). You can see the project description here (also attached below) as part of the fundraising campaign, and the Roulette event page here.
And I want you to perform in it. I'm looking for a rehearsed "flash mob" of performers to execute a section of this dance on the night of FEB 10th as well as be in a video shoot on the night of JAN 26th ad/or JAN 27th. Ability to be in both is a plus, but not required. I'm happy to have performers who can do one or the other. We will be scheduling rehearsals for the piece in the coming week.
Specifically you will be executing a simple dance to a live version of US V THEM by LCD Soundsystem (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdJx02LpQao)
This is an unpaid gig, though it will be a great opportunity to work with an amazing company of performers, musicians, and technologists.
Let me know if this is at all interesting to you, or if you know anyone else who you might think will be interested.
It will be so. much. fun!
If you are interested in participating, see the schedule below and contact Emily at perfo...@andrewjs.com with your availability and resume/website
Thank you!!
About the project:
A flash-mob of Busby Berkeley-inspired synchronized swimmers and a Brooklyn running club dance to a live disco score on treadmills.
FIELD is a live, large-scale, multimedia dance and performance piece which will take place as part of the curated series DanceRoulette at Roulette performance space on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn at 8PM on February 10th. At the heart of the piece is a large-scale flash-mob dance which bursts in to the actual performance space from the streets of Downtown Brooklyn.
Co-choreographed by Andrew Schneider and Vanessa Walters (Fischerspooner), the dance is an explosion of energy and athleticism. The choreography co-opts the movements of synchronized swimming, speed skating, and running, into a simple but powerful set of movements which accumulate as the performers enter the space one by one over the course of a single 8 minute song. The dance uses every level of the Roulette performance space, filling the balcony, the aisles, as well as the stage.
A live-feed camera tracks the runners through Downtown Brooklyn and into the space to join the performers already there. Hyper-precise LED concert lighting, lasers, and confetti canons pile-on the exuberance and joy of the dancing until the dance itself can't take any more. The dance eventually cracks and reveals intercuts of an intimate conversation between two fighting lovers over the phone.
The woman is live in the space on her cell phone. Computer controlled LED lighting systems intercut the action of the dance with the action of the cell-phone breakup (much like the instantaneousness of changing the channel on a television). The two performances begin to occupy the same space at the same time. The intercutting becomes so rapid as if these two disparate performances are different frames of a film reel becoming cut frame by frame together. They become interleaved. They become lenticular. We experience the unhinged, over-the-top exuberance of the dance at the same time as the awful banality of witnessing an over-the-phone street scene breakup. The two things occupy the same space at the same time.
REHEARSAL SCHEDULEBelow are the FIELD rehearsal times. Mostly all rehearsals will be near the Atlantic Ave/Barclays stop.
Our goal is to have each performer for two 4 hour sessions leading up to the shoot, and again for two sessions leading up to the live performance.The choreography in the video and the choreography in the live performance overlaps, so any and all rehearsals will be valuable even if you're not in one thing or the other :)
