Black and white performance of female dancer slouches on the ground in a somber atmosphere. Her reflection gleams in a mysterious aura off the stage floor. Next to her is a "Dancer Call", popping out in a shadow white text separated by a reflective, divided line. Text reads in cursive text, "Dancer Call, What's the Score, Deadline: August 10, 2025".
Dancer Call: Research for new performance score — What’s the Score
Deadline to apply: August 10, 2025
​
About What's the Score:
We’re looking for dancers from the All Bodies Dance Project community to take part in a short research project to support the development of a new improvised dance piece. Participants will be led by ABDP artists Rianne Svelnis and Andrea Cownden in a structured exploration of collective performance scores. This research will inform a new improvised piece performed by ABDP dancers during our 2025/26 season.
​
Dancers are welcome to participate in one, two, or all of the workshop sessions. Dancers do not need to participate in this research project in order to perform in the new piece.
