Ausdance Queensland is pleased to call for applications for:-

Bell Tower Choreographic Laboratory Project.

Interstate and Queensland artists are welcome to apply.

The Choreographic Lab will provide a unique professional development opportunity for five experienced dancers. The mentors are: Rosetta Cook, Jacqui Carroll and Brian Lucas. Lab supervisor: Vanessa Mafe-Keane.

Many emerging artists spend a great deal of their early practice re-inventing the wheel. This experience offers a process of information exchange, from mentor to participant, and the mentor’s facilitation of strategic tasks to challenge and accelerate the participant’s deeper understanding of choreographic contexts and concepts.

Dates: Oct 24 – Nov 16 (lab sessions Mon-Thurs) + Showings 17 and 18 November

Participants will receive:

A stipend of $2000 and a 5 day intensive (in total) with each mentor and an opportunity to present.

Criteria:

Dancers who have performed professionally in either a company or project-based context
