Performer Callout
CALL-OUT: Queer (Lesbian / Non-Binary) Dancer/Actor for R&D – What Adult Am I?
I’m looking for a queer-identifying dance theatre performer to join the creative team for the next phase of Research and Development for What Adult Am I?
The work explores adulthood through a queer and comedic lens, with a focus on lesbian and non-binary narratives. The work champions queer stories and challenges traditional norms, celebrating voices and experiences that are often muted or overlooked. The process combines movement and text, and is collaborative, exploratory, and process led.
As this is an evolving creative process, it’s important that the themes of the work and its connection to queer and lesbian experience resonate with you, and that you feel comfortable engaging with the material in a way that feels right for you.
Who we’re looking for:
Queer- Lesbian and or non-binary dance and theatre artist
A strong mover with a background in contemporary dance (other styles also welcome)
Experience in partnering and/contact improvisation
Confident working with text and scripts
Open to devising and collaborative processes
Particularly interested in hearing from queer artist of the global majority.
Location & access:
