Contempo Physical Dance holds audition – seeking professional dancers for our fourth choreography residency!
This residency features commissioned work by Jaruam Xavier. Jaruam is a former dancer with Bale da Cidade de Sao Paulo in Brazil. As a choreographer, he has delved into the exploration of Anthropophagic Body Formation, a metaphor he employs to illustrate the assimilation of knowledge through the embodiment of dance and cultural hybridity. His works bear the influence of Candomblé, Capoeira, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, evident in their distinctive traits.
An audition class will be taught by Marciano Silva dos Santos while Jaruam observes remotely. In addition to the audition class, each dancer should prepare a solo up to one minute in length that highlights their strengths as a dancer.
