I am seeking an older female dancer for a choreography project.
The ideal candidate would be fit, in her sixties, with a capacity for flamboyance. She would be comfortable with modern dance and contact improvisational styles and be willing to improvise. She would live in the Columbus area and not anticipate moving away soon. The characters include a gypsy conducting a seance and a woman in the process of divorce.
This is a long-term project that may involve several dances. I will provide gas money for rehearsals and rehearsal space. The other principal dancer (me) is 64. Other dancers may be added.
If you ARE interested but outside the guidelines, please feel free to contact me anyway.
