Attakkalari
Kerala - Kochi
Dancing with the times
Striking a path different from classical dances, contemporary performers of India are trying to evolve a new body language reflecting the realities and issues of the present times.
The Attakkalari Centre for Movement Arts, Bangalore, is recruiting dancers and trainee dancers who are interested in developing a career in contemporary dance. It has been functioning as an umbrella organisation facilitating and producing international art events for artistes and audience from its inception in 1992. The organisation, with London-based Malayali dancer Jayachandran Palazhi as artistic director, has a repertory company which tours widely in India and abroad.
Artistes selected by Attakkalari will receive training at the Bangalore centre.
They will get opportunities to perform in major national and international festivals, and to train in a professional diploma course in Movements Arts and Mixed Media. The trained dancers can become members of Attakkalari's education outreach team to teach dance in schools, corporate houses and other community centres.
Trained dancers will also be considered for independent projects, national and international residencies, workshops and for participation in festivals.
The dancers will be selected at an audition to be held at the Chavara Cultural Centre, Kochi on August 26.
Interested candidates, aged between 16 and 30 years, should reach the venue at least 15 minutes before the starting time, 9.30 a.m.
They should submit a recent biodata and wear practice clothing, such as tracksuit and T-shirt.
More details will be available from the Chavara Cultural Centre, Monastery Road, near the South Railway Station, Kochi, or Attakkalari, 39/3525, Kausthubham, Manikkath Road, Ravipuram, Kochi. Phone: 0484 - 2356449 / 94472 21899.
