Description:

An exceptional opportunity is available for up to six contemporary dancers to participate in an international residency located in Madeira, Portugal. This immersive program marks the debut of a new dance company, dedicated to intensive creative development, collaborative movement research, and repertoire building, culminating in a captivating live public performance. The company seeks artists who excel in dynamic, collaborative environments and are passionate about pushing artistic boundaries. Selected dancers will engage in a comprehensive schedule, including daily rehearsals and exploratory movement sessions. Key responsibilities involve actively contributing to the creation of new contemporary dance pieces, mastering and performing the developed repertoire, and fostering close collaboration with peers and artistic leadership. The residency will conclude with a public showcase performance. Additionally, participants will lead a 90-minute masterclass as part of the company's retreat offerings. Ideal candidates should possess a robust foundation in contemporary dance technique and demonstrate the ability to thrive within a demanding, condensed creative timeline. While not mandatory, prior experience with partner work and lifts is considered a valuable asset.

Successful applicants will be provided with hotel accommodation for the entire duration of the residency, along with meal provisions. This unique experience includes a prominent public performance, all necessary costuming and company attire, and professional photo and video documentation of their work. This presents an unparalleled chance to gain international residency experience with an innovative new dance company.
