Hello Movers! Below you will find a description of a project for a production in January. I need a third aerialist who could be integrated for the installation. If interested, please contact me a.s.a.p. We are having a fundraiser for Day of the Dead to benefit the following event:

SAN FRANCISCO COLLABORATIVE BI-CULTURAL ARTISTIC FUSION BOMB- CALL FOR ARTISTS

2010 ART HAPPENINGS

Request for Aerialist/Performance Artist

Deadline: Nov. 5th

Project Benefits: Resume piece. Photographs of your work. Promotion and exposure to new audiences and movement artists. To be a part of inspiring collaborative work.

Eligibility: Open to artists living in the Bay Area

Description:

This is an invitation to enter and exciting collaboration with performance artists experienced in belly dance, butoh, and aerial dance within the San Francisco area for projected local events and in Los Angeles (for benefit events benefiting an Ethiopian village in Africa).

We will have an installation sculpture piece that will suspend from the ceiling and be climbed upon by one to three aerialists. The sculpture will be an animal skeleton design.
We will have a production team to help work out the rigging and tech logistics. We encourage collaboration of resources, networks, and contacts as a group, we desire more exposure and events.
We prefer artists working in aerial, modern dance, butoh, and the likes. A deer skeleton with antlers is our aim for this particular project. The theme will be fusion, and the structure will be structurally sound for aerial climbing. We like the effect of a skeleton with antlers.

The choreographers are Jill Parker & Monikah Barriga. We are loosely working with the theme Fusion for now and that may evolve and change as we go (tribal fusion belly dance, butoh philosophy as it relates to audience and environment, and aerial movement with theatrics). Jill has 22 years of experience as an international bellydance teacher, choreographer, director of Ultra Gypsy and the Foxglove Sweethearts. Monikah has eight years of experience in butoh and a fusion of aerial arts for venues such as Symbiosi, LACMA, Coachella Arts Festival, INBA Museo, Solids sculpture events, Electric Daisy Carnival.

This will be an excellent opportunity to learn how to work with other artists in a collaborative environment for venues we are targeting such as Yerba Buena Center or the Arts, Supper Club, Ethiopian Benefit Events hosted by Marco Guzzardo.
