well sort of here is the info taken from the site. It is a study of movement that will in the end create a new Dance piece. I think its awesome and would love to do it, sadly I dont live in Sydney or I would be applying.
A new project by Force Majeure
2013-2015
The world is getting bigger. Larger waistlines are on the increase. But what does it mean to be fat? According to contemporary western culture, fat is ugly, unhealthy and sad. Yet fatness can also be abundant, robust, even beautiful.
What is a fat body? What do fat bodies look like? How do fat bodies move? Will there ever come a time when society finds the ‘fat dancing body’ a beautiful thing?
PROJECT OUTLINE
Force Majeure plans to investigate the personal stories and experiences of individuals who live in bigger bodies.
Director Kate Champion will work in collaboration with Artistic Associate Kelli Jean Drinkwater (artist, filmmaker, fat activist). Together they will create an intriguing, powerful and at times beautiful dance theatre work for the fat body.
CALLOUT FOR PERFORMERS
Force Majeure is inviting self-identified people of size (bigger bodied/large/fat) to participate in the audition process for a groundbreaking dance theatre exploration of what it means to be fat.
This project provides a unique opportunity for larger bodied people to engage with their self-expression through tailor made workshops and movement labs with the aim to produce a high-end, innovative dance theatre piece that will premiere in 2015.
This work is a rare opportunity for people of size to showcase their skills and innate ability to be great movers and dancers (trained or untrained).
Performers will work within a supportive environment where they will be encouraged to take risks exploring their physicality.
We welcome applications from:
- People who identify as fat/big bodied/large
- People who consider themselves really good movers or have previous dance experience (formal training, regular night club mover and shaker, ballroom etc)
- People interested in exploring their relationship to their bodies and its movement
- People from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply
- Auditions are open to people of all genders
- Applicants must be over 18 years
- To be eligible you must be available from 10 – 13 July and 12 – 23 August
To apply please complete and submit an Expression of Interest form online here by 5pm Friday 14 June.
Successful applicants will be notified by Friday 21 June.

I think it is a wonderful and interesting experiement and if it works well could well open the doors to more Plus size based art projects.
