Summer Solo Series 2014 | Joel Fenton and Collaborators

Summer Solo Series is an exciting and unique dance project, that provides a valuable opportunity for dance artists to create, develop and perform short new solo dance works. Every participant in Summer Solo Series choreographs a 3-5 minute solo on a dancer and performs a solo choreographed by another participant. Summer Solo Series is dedicated to creating opportunities for dance artists to develop skills as a choreographer and dancer, explore creative new ideas, expand artistic networks and continue building a stronger, diverse and inclusive dance community.

What makes Summer Solo Series unique is the chance selection process at the beginning of the project. Once the applications close in early December, participating artists are randomly assigned partners to choreograph for and be choreographed by. Rehearsals begin at the end of the draw and continue until the performances at Dancehouse. This process gives participants an opportunity to expand their artistic networks through working with people they might not normally work with.

The dream for SSS is for it to become an annual event occurring every summer, providing a supportive platform for dance artists to develop their skills whilst establishing new artistic partnerships within the various dance communities.
