Audition: Pro, non-pro performers wanted for Thierry Niang's "Spring"

The Invisible Dog will bring French director and choreographer Thierry Niang to Brooklyn for two weeks to create a production of SPRING, inspired by Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, working with fifteen local participants, aged 60 to 100.

Niang is looking for 15 local professional and non-professional seniors (ages 60 to 100) of all backgrounds and levels of ability to comprise the ensemble.

This will be a very special, one-time only performance--and a meaningful
experience for all involved.

All performers are paid and provided a meal the day of the show.

If you are interested, please email richard@600highwaymen.org with the time slot when you would be available to meet with Thierry Niang at The Invisible Dog:

Wednesday, April 30, 4:30-6pm (arrive at 4:30pm)

Jody Oberfelder: Body and Soul podcast

Jody Oberfelder received a dream commission from the Brooklyn Philharmonic--to choreograph Stravinsky's A Soldier's Tale for a May 9th performance at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM). Little did she realize that her project would become a casualty of New York's economic crisis when, like so many other arts institutions, the Philharmonic was forced to slash its budget.

Oberfelder joined me today to talk about her re-imagining of A Soldier's Tale, the ironic relevance of its theme and her renewed efforts to bring this production to life.
