Cab it Up!

There are many things that disappoint me - my own ability to cope with hot weather being the one most pressing at this moment. However, the opportunity to work with Michael Clark has always been high on my "to do" list. And now, there is that opportunity.

Only I can't do it, because I am going to be fringing it during August, and won't be able to commit to the rehearsals.

However, if any men are interested and, like me, they lack dance training, I'd rush to this site.

Wiping away my tears, I have cut and pasted the information...









The iconic Scottish dancer and choreographer Michael Clark returns to Glasgow following the company’s remarkable four-week long residency at the Whitney Museum, New York. He will once again engage both professional and community dancers to generate choreography, expanding what our experience of movement can be. This will culminate in performances at the celebrated Glasgow Barrowlands on 8 & 9 September 2012, the final weekend of the London 2012 Festival and marking the shift in focus to Scotland and Glasgow 2014.
Michael Clark Company and Dance House invite local people to become performers alongside the Company dancers, accentuating the communal dance experience in this landmark event. The Barrowlands Project is supported by Creative Scotland and produced in partnership with Michael Clark Company, Glasgow Life and Dance House, Glasgow.

VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS
• Age 18 or over
• 
No previous formal dance training - (by formal dance training we mean vocational full time training, this does not exclude those who have attended regular dance classes, either recently or in the past).
• Able to participate in movement/dance for 2-3 hours a day.
• Available for ALL performance and rehearsal times, with flexibility to attend rehearsals on other days/times as needed.
• While applications from all over Scotland are welcomed, we anticipate this being of most interest to people in the Greater Glasgow area as participants need to commit to the intensive period of rehearsals in Glasgow.
