Michael Clark is seeking 3 dancers to collaborate with for a period of choreographic research in collaboration with Citymoves, leading to an informal presentation in Aberdeen in October. This will begin with a 3-week residency at Citymoves from 11 –30 August.

Michael is interested in working with dancers who have strong classical ballet and contemporary dance techniques as well as those whose dance training is in other forms - including Highland dancing which was his first dance experience. The work wlll be a mixture of technical rigour and experimentation, requiring a curious approach and an interest in exacting movement

He is seeking “ thinking dancers “; each performer must be able to hold their own as an individual, whilst also having the ability to respond sensitively as part of a group.

Like members of a band, each must be a soloist in their own right, bringing their own unique qualities to the group, but become interdependent with time.

To register interest in attending the audition email: citymoves@citymoves.org.uk by Thursday 3 July.

Include with your email:

•   a CV

• a link to a video of you dancing (max 5 minutes)

• a note of your availability between 11 – 29 August and 6-18 October

It is not essential to be available for the full 3 weeks to be considered, but you must be available 13 – 18 October.

The audition on Sunday 6 July will involve:

12.30: Registration & warm up

1- 2.30 pm: Class

3 – 5 pm: choreographic session for selected dancers

We anticipate inviting a small group of dancers to a callback on Monday 7 July, 12 – 4 pm

Contracts will be on a self-employed basis @ £750 per week.

We are particularly keen to involve dancers local to the Aberdeen area in this project. If those selected for the project are based elsewhere in Scotland, accomodation, per diems and travel expenses will be provided for the residency and rehearsal time in Aberdeen. 

This opportunity is open to dancers 18+

This project is supported by Citymoves Dance Agency and Creative Scotland.
