Description Of Opportunity:

Seeking performers for the exhibition “The Soul Expanding Ocean #2: Isabel Lewis”, curated by Chus Martínez.

From September 17 to October 17, 2021, Ocean Space will host a live exhibition by the artist Isabel Lewis (b. 1981, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic), which explores Venice, the sea and memories related to it through the Church of San Lorenzo, where Ocean Space is located. This new performance will draw on storytelling, singing, and dancing as tools to explore the history of merchants, trade routes, encounters with cultures, indigenous traces, and tales of the city.

We are looking for 10 students and 10 professional performers to participate in a durational group performance that will take place every Friday and Saturday from September 17 to October 17, with additional rehearsals on September
13 and 14.

– A picture of yourself (JPEG, PDF)

– A CV/resume (PDF)

– A two-minute video in two parts (MP4, MOV)

For the video: In the first minute, please introduce yourself and answer the following question: <Which forms of engagement do you personally practice that you feel contribute to living a good and flourishing life today?>. The other minute should be a recording of yourself dancing to a favorite song as though you were dancing alone somewhere private.

Video can be filmed simply on a mobile phone or computer camera. There is no need for extra production, editing, or special effects in the videos. Very large files (above 10 MB) or videos that are longer than two and a half minutes will not be considered.
