Call for Dancers!
Hi guys,
We’re looking for 10 dancers to perform in Brody Condon’s piece Performance Modification (Nauman) at Machine Project.
10 performers outfitted in medieval/space/fantasy armor will re-create Bruce Nauman’s 1973 work “Tony Sinking into the Floor, Face Up and Face Downâ€. Performed in slow motion and combined with movements based on computer game death animations, this piece is accompanied by a high volume binaural beats reputed to induce out of body experiences.
We’re looking for:
– large-framed dancers, preferably at least 5’10” tall and male
rehearsal from 8pm-11pm on Thursday February 7th. (Rehearsal date/times can be flexible.) Rehearsal and performance are both happening at Machine Project, 1200D North Alvarado Street, Los Angeles, 90026.
The performance is on Saturday, Feb 9th, with check-in at 4pm, a performance for the press at 7pm and the public performance from 8pm-10pm.
We can pay a $100 honorarium to each dancer chosen.
If you’re interested, please email machine@machineproject.com or call us at 213.483.8761.
