Fee: £200 
Commitment: 2 x afternoon workshops at Studio Wayne McGregor: 20th Oct (2-6pm) / 3rd Nov (2-6pm).

Jo Cork is an independent dance artist, choreographer, screendance practitioner, and dance film maker, drawing on exploration of the human experience to create her work.  We are seeking 2-3 dance artists who are confident with improvisation, with a minimum of 3 years professional experience, who have lived experience of hearing or sight impairment, or neurodiversities affecting sensory perception. 

Artists will work with Jo Cork, composer, Bartosz Szafranski and creative technologist, Ava Agakouchak to explore and develop new wearable haptics technology, and an experimental screendance work encompassing an audio, visual and haptic sensory experience. 

We would like to work with artists who have an interest in dance film, or dance and technology.
