Art Windsor-Essex (AWE) is seeking five Windsor-based performers to participate in Muscle Panic, a 45-minute performance by Canadian artist Hazel Meyer. This work explores the world-making possibilities of sport through queerness, movement, and collaboration—perfectly aligned with the themes of SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS, an exhibition that brings together artists and athletes to reimagine physical expression and challenge traditional narratives of competition, gender, and play. Performed on and around an 11-foot-high scaffold, Muscle Panic is a choreographed score of drills, gestures, and improvisations drawn from a custom playbook. You can view past iterations here: https://hazelmeyer.com/Muscle-Panic-objects-2018. We welcome applications from 2SLGBTQI+ individuals aged 18 and above, of all abilities, who have a connection to movement, whether through sport, dance, performance, or personal practice. Rehearsals will be held at AWE in the week leading up to the performance. Dates and times will be coordinated with selected performers.

• Rehearsals: Two 1.5 hour sessions earlier that week (dates/times to be confirmed with participants)
• TBD Location: Art Windsor-Essex (AWE), as part of the exhibition SPORTS SPORTS SPORTS
