Female Dancer/Actor Needed

Diana seeks a female dancer/actor to perform in the The Big Range Dance Festival in Austin.

Description of the part is as follows:

I have been working with a dancer in Los Angeles who is not going to be able to make the trip with me to Austin. The piece I am doing has a duet section that I’d love to perform. Do you know any female dancers or actors in Austin who might be interested in being part of the work? I’d be seeking a slightly built mover–I carry this person on my back, so she needs to be petite–and someone who might be able to handle minimalist work.

The performance is The Big Range Dance Festival. I am performing in “The Dance Carousel” (presenting four 1 minute pieces). I will arrive June 28 (I hope). Rehearsal and performances will be the weekend of June 28-30.

For a little more info about the choreography–here is a video guide of an earlier version performed in Los Angeles this year.
