Born of Violence Documentary - Short Promo
Elderton-McGoldrick

  • Project Details
    Call out for a female dancer of colour(30+)+ Call out for a movement director.We are doing a short promo to raise awareness around the feature doc. ‘Born of violence.’ This short promo will serve to highlight the theme of the documentary, which is the often difficult relationship between mother & child born from a rape. It will include a short dance performance by a mother and child of African descent with a physical theatre influence mixed with preliminary doc footage and a poem called children of bad memories read as a voice-over. We are primarily looking for a black female dancer.We also need a skilled movement director.We will be rehearsing the dance piece on the 24th Oct and shooting in late November. (There is however flexibility with regards to rehearsal and shooting dates.) Here is more info about the feature documentary:Born of Violence is my forthcoming documentary. It will bring to the fore the stories that so often go untold- those of the children conceived through sexual violence. Sharing international experiences across developed nations and war-torn situations, the film will be told entirely from the point-of-view of the director- a film maker who himself has some personal experiences related to the theme.What is it really like coming to terms with the violent nature of your own conception? The documentary will focus on the deeply personal issues that arise from being born of violence, including the inescapable traumas experienced by both mother and child.Content of dance performance between mother/child for SHORT PROMO:The male dancer (male child) in this promo will be representing the struggling child, the rejected child, the unloved one. In some cultures, this one is referred to as the child of hate, the devil’s child. The female dancer (mother) in this promo will be representing the maternal side of the often-difficult relationship of caring for a 'child of hate.’ (This is the role we are auditioning for.)In the piece there will be 6 tableaus which will all together be nog longer than a minute long. There is a script, which I would be very happy to share with you.The project is very low budget and can not offer more than a very minimal fee/day rate. This would be 75 pounds per day.We are hoping that whoever is involved understands this and is willing to go there with us.We may shoot the project on film with a highly acclaimed cinematographer, which would hopefully be a benefit for the dancer and the movement director's involvement.Dancer and choreographer in one is also desirable, so don't hesitate to enquire further.@bornofviolencedocumentary@philipjamesmcgoldrick
