Vitlycke – Centre for Performing Arts and Beyond Front@: Bridging Periphery are inviting dancers from Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Poland and Romania, to join a new contemporary dance performance created by choreographer Francesco Scavetta.
The audition in Bucharest is held 7-8 December at Centrul Național al Dansului București (CNDB)
Dancers for the participation in the audition are selected through an open call.
Vitlycke-CPA is looking for contemporary dancers, with strong improvisation and performative skills, interested in working in the project. Auditions are for artists based in project partner countries: Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Poland and Romania. One artist from each partner country will be invited to join the production.
The production will explore our emotional relationship to the concept of ‘home’ as a metaphor for identity and as a microcosm of the world, where constantly thresholds are traced, and boundaries broken. The place where to welcome and where to close the door and be by ourselves, where to rediscover daily rituals, embodying a physical cartography that keeps transforming in front of our eyes: the sense of ‘everyday’, experienced during a lifetime.
The project is a continuation of the creative process started with the piece Home Movie created by WEE/Francesco Scavetta in 2022. More information: https://www.dansenshus.com/en/performances/home-movie
Auditions are organised as part of Beyond Front@: Bridging Periphery – a Creative Europe project (2023-2026) created by Central Europe Dance Theatre – CEDT (Hungary), Bunker (Slovenia), HIPP (Croatia), Krakow Dance Theatre (Poland), M Studio (Romania) and Vitlycke – Centre for Performing Arts (Sweden) to foster local development of the contemporary dance fields.
