Live Processing with koosil-ja

A call for dancers for koosil-ja's new project:

We are looking for two dancers for our new project called Blocks of Continuality/Movement-Live Cinema. The project will employ three dancers and a team of 3D modelers, programmers, an interactive designer, and installation and sound artists.

The rehearsals will begin in January 2009. Rehearsals will be held every Tuesday and Thursday from 11 am to 5 pm at the beginning and will get more intense as the process continues. We will begin performing the work starting from the fall of 2009 and continue to perform to spring 2010.

We will dance using a performance technique called Live Processing*. The dancers will receive rehearsal fees based on an hourly rate, in addition to performance fees.

If you are a disciplined dancer who possesses strong body and mental strength and can commit to hard work for this long period, I will like to have a one-on-one session with you. I would like you to try Live Processing, no longer than an hour in our studio located in the East Village (4th Street between First and Second Avenue). Please come warmed up.

Please contact me via email dancekk@earthlink.net and specify the time that best works for you according to the following dates. The time frame for all the dates is from noon to 3 pm.

Tues Oct. 14
Thurs. Nov. 13

*About Live Processing

The dancers respond to multiple movement source materials displayed on video monitors to generate movement, neither improvising nor executing set choreography. They dance while abstracting only the movement information from the clips - freeing the movement from emotional, political, psychological, and religious attributions - and synthesizing all the sources of information as they dance.

Thank you.
