This will take place over five days and we will explore concepts of Refining Improvisational Techniques Into Choreographic Performance. This will question how the improvisational process can be honed into a 'finished' product and how can different disciplines inform and enhance this as a process of movement composition. The group, over a period of five days, will investigate new working methods, establish links and strategies in dealing with its non-homogenous background and working practices. It will explicitly ask questions of collaborative hierarchy, creative freedom and ownership of material and explore issues such as collaborative agreement, interdisciplinary awareness, use of ready-mades and the nature of improvisation when presented live in front of an audience. <br /><br /><br /> OPEN to Dancers/ choreogrpahers from Cyprus by APPLICATION onlythat must reach ECHO ARTS by 15th of March 2009. <br /><br /><br /> The research project will select 5-7 dancers 2 male and 5 female to have their contribution in this research project/exchange with the University of Leeds. <br /><br /><br /> Applications must include:<br /> Name, Date of birth, Address, and a small curriculum vitae. <br /><br /><br /> OPEN FOR APPLICATIONS TO DANCERS FROM CYPRUS<br /> email: <a href="mailto:echo-arts@cytanet.com.cy">echo-arts@cytanet.com.cy</a> <br /><br /><br /> </p> <address>CONTACT:<br /> Dr George Rodosthenous<br /> Programme Manager for BA(Hons) Theatre and Performance<br /> School of Performance and Cultural Industries<br /> University of Leeds<br /> LS2 9JT<br /> +44 (0)113 343 8725 <br /><br /><br /> ARIANNA ECONOMOU<br /> Director <a href="http://www.echo-arts.info/">ECHO ARTS</a><br /> email:<a href="mailto:echo-arts@cytanet.com.cy">echo-arts@cytanet.com.cy</a></address> <dl> <dt>director/ composer</dt> <dd><a href="../../biographies/GeorgeRodosthenous.htm">George Rodosthenous</a></dd> <dt>choreographer/ dancer</dt> <dd><a href="http://www.alexandrawaierstall.com">Alexandra Waierstall</a></dd> <dd><a href="../../about/arianna_bio.htm">Arianna Economou</a></dd> <dd>Riccardo Meneghini</dd> <dt>composer</dt> <dd>Demetris Zavros</dd> <dt>guest participants</dt> <dd>Ben Ingles</dd> <dd>Thomas Colley</dd> <dd>Leo Town</dd> <dd>Ashley Scott Layton</dd> </dl> </div> </body> </html>
