CASTING CALL
Call for dancers and performers who are interested in movement.

Casting: Second week of August 2009

Liliya Lifanova and choreographer Davy Bisaro are collaborating to create a piece abstractly based on chess (For images, please visit the "Anatomy is Destiny" section of this website).
We are looking for both men and woman who are interested in playing with restrictions and boundaries in movement placed on them through costume, space, and abstract boundaries.
We are looking for 32 movers from diverse technical backgrounds. Must be a team player due to the large number of people involved.
We will hold casting auditions the second week of August and will rehearse 2 days a week until the first week of September. The piece will be shown at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and in three public spaces September 8th through October 3rd. We will be holding 4 shows during this time. (September 8, 18, 25, and 2nd.)
If you are interested please contact Davy Bisaro at davy.bisaro@gmail.com or Liliya Lifanova at lili.lifa@gmail.com with your availability and your pant/top sizes.
