To apply, email workshops@teacdamsa.com with:
— A short biography
— A video link showcasing your work (Vimeo or YouTube preferred)
In addition to the above please send us a one-minute video of your dancing, preferably facing the camera, so we can see who you are as well as how you move. Should you feel inspired, please also include a short video of you speaking, singing or reading a text. From this process of selection, a small group of dancers will be invited to a workshop at our studio in May.
This is a paid contract – with travel, food and accommodation also provided.
Application deadline: 6 April
I would like to meet dancers to create a dance and theatre performance in our new studio beside the Atlantic Ocean on the Corca Dhuibhne Peninsula in West Kerry, Ireland.
I am looking for dancers who are seeking a useful and friendly creative process that allows for conversations and creativity to flourish and where integrity and truthful communication are integral. Where steps appear naturally out of each dancer’s individual work. Where each dancer’s immediate and ancient history is given space. Where the work is conceived in relation to the other, responding to sensations and impetuses that come and go as each day unfolds.
Elements, energy, rhythm, repetition, simplicity, and music are valued to allow for good co-ordination and relaxation, which allows for a real engagement with the self and with the other artists sharing the adventure.
The eventual outcome will be accepted, celebrated and shared.
A work that is defiant in its response to selfishness, brutality, and greed, by how it is created and shared in a spirit of generosity, gentleness and empathy.
