Open Call: Aerial Acrobat for One-Day Studio Collaboration
Who we are
Dadodans is a dance company based in Amsterdam that specializes in creating intimate, physical performances with a strong visual and emotional language, aimed at very young audiences and families. The company’s work is known for blending dance with other artistic disciplines to create accessible and playful performances. The artistic director and choreographer, Gaia Gonnelli, is particularly interested in creating works that encourage children to use their own imagination. Working with materials and primary elements such as shapes, colors, and sounds plays an important role in all Dadodans performances. Learn more about Dadodans.
About the project
We are currently in the early stages of developing a new production, Licht, which will feature a duet between a contemporary dancer and an aerial acrobat. Licht will explore the intersection between movement on the ground and in the air, investigating the possibilities of combining contemporary dance with aerial acrobatics. This one-day studio collaboration aims to experiment and explore the physicality, balance, and dynamics that can be created between these two disciplines.
Who we are looking for
We are seeking an aerial acrobat to join us in the studio for one day to help us better understand the discipline and its potential for integration with contemporary dance. Ideally, you are a creative, open-minded performer who enjoys exploring movement beyond your own practice and has a collaborative spirit.
