STRUT offers Forsythe Workshop Audition

STRUT Dance, a choreographic development centre based in Perth, recently announced that it’s looking for 14 dance artists who would like to partake in its upcoming Forsythe Workshop Audition.

Quite excitingly, the Forsythe Foundation has agreed to offer the seminal 2000 work One Flat Thing, Reproduced to STRUT as a choreographic model of excellence to build over the next two years. “The beauty of this work is that is draws on choreographic methodologies, improvisation scores and repertoire right back to Robert Scott (1986) and forward to Synchronous Objects (2009),” expresses STRUT.

To participate, artists must be a STRUT member, which requires they be age 18 or older, involved in professional dance practice (or a third-year tertiary dance student), and have filled out the application and paid their annual membership fee of $50.

Rehearsals and the eventual performances of One Flat Thing, reproduced will be in February/March 2017 and will be a paid contract.

Making history, this will be the first time that One Flat Thing, reproduced will be performed by an Australian cast as it’s usually quarantined to major dance companies. Now One Flat Thing, Reproduced can be learned, studied and performed by the independent sector exclusively with STRUT!

The two-week Workshop Audition runs Monday, May 16 to Friday, May 27 from 9:30 am to 4 pm each day at King Street Arts Centre, Perth. For further information, visit http://strutdance.org.au.
