Rosemary Lee is looking for performers to get involved with her next project


Rosemary Lee is looking for performers to get involved with her next project, Common Dance, a site-specific performance gathering a cast of a hundred singers, musicians and professional / non-professional dancers.   The piece will be created at Greenwich Dance Agency and will be presented in the Borough Hall as part of Dance Umbrella 2009, London’s International Festival of Contemporary Dance.

Continuing her passion for making large-scale inter-generational performances and films, Rosemary is taking as inspiration for this new piece the notion of commonality and her long-term interest in traditional forms in poetry, folk music and dance.

She is searching for a cast of over forty non-professional performers ranging in age from nine upwards.  The most important requirement for this project is to love dancing however it would be useful if participants have some experience of dance, movement or performing in public. The creation process will involve some intensive weekends and Saturdays scattered between June and October, along with weekly rehearsals from September until the premiere.

If you are interested in being involved contact gDA to receive an information sheet on 020 8293 9741 or kat@greenwichdance.org.uk by 30 April 2009. More information on Rosemary Lee can be found at www.artsadmin.co.uk/rosemarylee www.rescen.net

Common Dance is co-commissioned and presented by Dance Umbrella & Greenwich Dance Agency in association with Artsadmin.
