Meta4 Dance Company is seeking three professional contemporary dancers to develop their work 'Confluence'. We are looking for disabled and non-disabled dancers to join the company for three weeks of research and development, two informal performances and the delivery of 3 workshops. The piece will work collaboratively with local artists, including costume designer Pip Terry, dramaturg Jesse Salaman and musician Annie Griffiths. 

The piece will look at the permanence of nature and the impermanence of humanity. Gaining each individual's experience with nature will deepen our understanding of how essential nature is. The work is a development of a solo piece created in 2021 by Meta4 Dance Company. To see the existing work, please watch the link - Confluence - Live from the river Coquet Northumberland UK
