KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen
OPEN CALL
PARTICIPANTS WANTED
for the performance Habitat as part of the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen in Hanover.
The KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen and choreographer Doris Uhlich are looking for people (with and without dance experience) from Hanover and the surrounding area who would like to become part of the choreography for the performance Habitat.
All abilities, all genders, all ages! Every Body Welcome!
We are looking for people of all ages (18+) and backgrounds with an interest in movement. We are interested in a wide variety of genders and abilities.
Background
As in previous pieces (including MORE THAN NAKED, EVERY BODY ELECTRIC and SEISMIC DANCER), the naked body is central to Habitat. Habitat shows the naked body in its strength and fragility. To electronic sounds and techno tracks, the participants celebrate their unity and diversity. As individuals and as a group they simultaneously conquer space in a performance that is captivating, highly energetic, and at times collectively at peace with itself. Habitat transcends conventional notions of the body, dance and nudity in a subversive way. It goes beyond conventional ideals of beauty. Habitat is a utopian anthem. The series has already been developed and performed in various cities in Europe and will have its next stop in Hanover within the Royal Garden. Each Habitat is unique and is inspired by the architecture and history of the place.
