Hello dears,
My name is Aaron and I am an Acting B.A. student. For my bachelor I am putting together a project about queerness, love, loneliness, the quest to be confident in ones uniqueness and how one changes from the small town boy* once they get to the big city.
During the months of September, October and November we will be rehearsing and I urgently need support in producing and organising. You should be fluent in German and also have a good understanding of the English language, as we will be working in both. Having some experience in the theatre world would be desirable but is not necessary.
We are working with a collection of autobiographical texts that I have written over the past 2,5 years, hence the journey and story we are portraying is very personal. The cast is made up of long time collaborators – mainly dancers. We have a background in modern contemporary dance and much of the choreography is derived specifically from our time in dance theatre productions following ideas of Pina Bausch. In addition we are working with the Deep Listening Exercises by Pauline Oliveros and ideas from the Viewpoints.
Other research included Ideas by bell hooks, Şeyda Kurt and Erich Fromm as well as multiple aspects of Queer Theory.
Our goal is to perform in one of Berlins many Independent Theatres and apply to Festivals. During the production there will be the need for our AD to jump in to co-direct if our director cannot be here.
If this sounds interesting to you please reach out to have a look at some of the text and already finished choreography. We would love to meet you!!!
