Liesel Zink, Australian choreographer will be the guest of the The Dance and Theatre Venue of Sziget Festival this year. Liesel will  recreate her piece The Stance with local dancers.

The Stance 
The Stance is a monumental dance and sound performance that investigates the choreography of bodies in protest and questions what it means to put your body on the line for something you believe in. Both highly political and physically demanding, The Stance is an imposing act of endurance that channels the history of public protest and recent acts of global action, activism and intervention.
The Stance is recreated each time with the local participants influenced by the local environment, politics and public life of the given place.
We are looking for six local contemporary dancers to create the Budapest edition of The Stance with Liesel Zink, three other Australian dancers and Mike Willmett, musician.
