Open Call for participation in the action Bodies in Urban Spaces

The Organisation Pafos2017, within the context of its Community Involvement Programme and with the cooperation of the Austrian Embassy and the support of Dance Culture Pafos, invites people aged 16 to 30 years old in good physical condition and flexibility, to attend an audition for the purpose of participating in the event “Bodies in Urban Spaces”.

THE IDEA

The group of individuals selected will have the opportunity to work with the renowned Austrian artist Willi Dorner and his colleagues in an event to be held on May 10th 2017, which is about body formations in central locations of the town. The event aims at the involvement of the society and the visitors of the town, by way of a walkthrough of the town via an original and creative route.

Willi Dorner specialises in interactive performances in outdoor spaces since 1999 and has worked with the biggest festivals in Europe, America and South Korea (Festival de Marseille, FTA – Festival Trans Amériques Montreal, Dance Umbrella London, Spring dance Utrecht, Crossing the Lines, B:om, etc.)

AUDITIONS

The auditions will take place on Wednesday 15th of February 2017, at 19:00, by Willi Dorner’s associate, Esther Steinkogler, at Klea Pitsillidou’s Ballet School, 4 Megaron street, Pafos.
