Dance
"Go Towards" Project Audition Call

Sanpapié Dance Company (Italy) in collaboration with Improvisation Dance Festival (Istanbul) within the international project “Go Towards” (awarded by the Italian Ministry of Culture through the Boarding Pass Plus fund) is looking for 9 performers including 6 dancers and 3 musicians, aged between 16 and 45 years of any gender to build a mixed Italian-Turkish group that will work on a new site-specific contemporary dance creation to be presented in Istanbul on the 9th and 10th September 2023.

Applicants are requested to send the materials below in English by the 30th of July 2023 to the email info@sanpapie.com (indicate first name, last name, phone and state in the subject AUDITION GO TOWARDS).

Selected applicants, also in relation to the number of requests we will receive, will be contacted by email by the beginning of August to confirm participation in the audition.

Two places will be reserved for AUDITORS who wish to follow and accompany the work process externally and collaborate in creating a "logbook" of the project.

The choreographic research, in close connection with the dramaturgical and musical elaboration, will explore the diversity inherent in the group of performers from common stimuli, themes and symbologies related to: individual perception, physical and emotional reactions, memory, imagery, creative production. The composition will be the result of a constant recombination of elements, in search of a shifting, ever-defining boundary.
