Call for Performers: June 21 Work in Progress Showing - June 7

I, Alys Ayumi Ogura, am seeking 2-4 dancers/movers for short performance pieces I plan to develop in 2026. In the first phase of this project, I hope to find individuals who are available to work from June 10-21. I would like to workshop how a group of dancers can draw from their life experiences to create movement materials.

I will be holding two free workshops to welcome anyone curious about participating in the creation of new work:
Sunday, June 7, from 1:00-3:00pm
Tuesday, June 9, from 6:00-8:00pm
Location: Rosy Simas Danse, Studio 331 in the Northrup King Building

Each workshop will be the same. People are welcome to attend one or both. I am particularly eager to meet performers of East Asian descent or those who have experience living in places where English isn’t the most dominant language.

Project Details:
Work in progress date: Sunday, June 21
Rehearsals: Between June 10-June 21 (some daytime and evenings)
Stipend: $250-$500

If you are interested or have any questions, please complete this form or send me an email to alys.a.wonderland@gmail.com with the subject line “June 2026 WIP! by Sunday, June 7.
