Seeking 1 femme dancer for a paid role in an upcoming multi-disciplinary production presenting the experiences of womxn’s voices. All who identify as female are welcome; Trans and non-binary womxn encouraged to apply!

 

About the role:

This role will be one of 3 dancers that provide dancing accompaniment to short stories told through song, monologue, and text.  The dancer should have professional experience and training in a variety of styles (preferably including contemporary or modern dance).  The ideal candidate is comfortable with improvisation, exploring their own artistic voice, and excited about amplifying the voices of other women. 

 

About the production:

"The Women Have Something to Say" presents the stories of female-identifying artists on the journey to find their voices, told through monologues and song texts written by the women themselves. The stories range in topic from sexism in the classical music industry, racism, age-ism, body image, silencing of women, to motherhood. Developed as a concert version in Houston, TX, this updated iteration will feature dancers, actors, and the original monologues will be woven into a theatrical narrative. The synergy of a living woman’s story being portrayed by other women speaks to the simultaneously distinctive and communal experience of women throughout time.
