Creative Behaviours Dance Collective Audition

Audition for Creative Behaviours Dance Collective Series 2 in 2016Creative Behaviours Dance Collective will hold an audition for its 2nd Series of 2016. The Dance Collective has been providing ongoing training and development for some of Melbourne’s finest creatives since 2014.

 

The initiative offers a consistent and structured working environment to assist in maintaining physical fitness and mental and creative sharpness. Places are available for both recent graduates and experienced professional dancers. But do note that all participation is on a voluntary, non-paid basis.

 

In this series, the initiative will spend six weeks focusing on the second development of a new work by Caitlin Eames. In its last series, the group experimented with improvisational tasks and manipulation of choreography surrounding questions of knowledge, learning and unlearning. Now Eames will be employing tools and techniques inspired by her recent participation at Movement Research in New York City with choreographers Sarah Michelson, DD Dorvillier and Vicky Shick.


Benefits for participants include: the opportunity to participate in free classes; to be involved in a creative process; to enjoy a platform for maintaining fitness; the opportunity to practice creative tasking responses; to receive peer support and motivation; and to partake in a performance opportunity.

 

The audition will begin at 5:30 pm on Monday, July 4 at the Creative Behaviours’ Studio 49, located at Docklands Cotton Mills, 91 Moreland Road, Footscray. Dancers are welcome to warm up in the studio from 5 pm.

 

The series will run from Monday, July 11 until Wednesday, August 24, 2016. Dancers will work together weekly on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5 to 9 pm. There will be a showing of the developing work on Saturday, September 3.
