Dancers Needed for Short Choreographic Film

DELINEA RENDA With her ongoing project Breathing Through Vernacular Movement, Brittany Harlin is gathering knowledge of American vernacular dance of the African diaspora through the concert dance lens. Focusing on street dance, which includes elements of funk, house, and hip-hop, she uses somatic theory connecting body and mind in order to develop a pedagogy under the mentorship of the art form's pioneers. This method also connects movers to physical techniques and mindfulness of the implications of adopting street movement, putting special attention on hip-hop as a sociopolitical movement. Delinea Renda is a street dance inspired production featuring movers and musicians from various backgrounds and with diverse understandings of movement. The title is an ethereal moniker for Harlin; derived from the words delineate and render, the title also refers to the deliverance of a message through music, poetry, and movement. up to 5 dancers needed for film adaptation of MCA-commisisoned Delinea Renda, choreographed by Brittany Harlin Rehearsals run until January 14th-15th Shoot Dates.
