DoryPark Dance Company: call for dancers NEWS
The Berlin based international Dance and Theatre company Constanza Macras Dorkypark is looking for performers and musicians of all age for an exchange project between South Africa and Germany on gender, post-colonialism and tradition. The auditions will take place in Johannesburg 4-5 May.
3rd + 4th May
from 10:00 until 17:00
at Moving into Dance Studio, Johannesburg
Address: 1 President Street, between Miriam Makeba and Henry Nxumalo Street
Applicants should preferably send in their CVs, video links and/or photo- graphs until 16th April to production@dorkypark.org
A special focus in the production will be given to gender/sexuality identity construc- tions, working in the space between the most progressive legislation of Sub-saharan Africa to this regard and a reality that remains conflictive. Dealing with more complex processes related to religious practices and powers, as well as the cultural and political interpretations, re-interpretations and sometimes an instrumentalization of tradition and heritage. On the other hand, the re-evaluation of heritages and tra- ditions long related to segregated cultural groups are being articulated in new ways with urban life, and with self-defined contemporary practices and productions, that we want to include in this project. Reflecting on post-colonial/post-apartheid on- going power struggles and the artistic deconstructions of colonial imageries of the other.
