New York choreographer Janis Brenner will begin a three-week
residency at FIU Monday, Oct. 27, with open auditions for a
January dance and theater performance of “The Memory
Project.”
Auditions are open to any performance artist in the community
between ages 9 to 70. They will be held at the University Park
campus in VH 100 on Monday from 3:30 -5:30 for theater and
dance students; 6-8 p.m. for community actors, singers and
dancers.
Brenner will select 10 to 11 people for
the Jan. 30 – 31,
2004 show that will take place at FIU’s Wertheim Performing
Arts Center. Her work is based on the lives of its performers,
using a process of generating stories and story line out of
the life experiences of the actors, singers and dancers she
works with. Her productions are at once community based and
emotionally charged.
Brenner is seeking not just dancers but a diversity of performance
artists, said Sherone Price, artistic director of the FIU dance
program. She wants individuals with skills such as speaking,
improvising, story telling, acting, singing and dancing.
“She’s looking for all of it,” Price said. “She
is asking that they move well on stage, they have some type
of presence on stage.”
For more information, contact Price at 305-348-6124
