F.Punk Junkies promo at Miami Light Project: (https://vimeo.com/796096457)
Premiere Description:
F.Punk Junkies is a Matriarch-centered, Black and Brown Ensemble-driven dance theater piece created by Teo Castellanos D-Projects with choreography by Michelle Grant Murray and Augusto Soledade. This new work brings the company’s “AfroRican Punk” aesthetic to the forefront of our storytelling and digs deeply into our collective ancestral roots. The text is adapted from Orisha Mythology, Black and Puerto Rican folktales, and driven by Black punk music.
F.Punk Junkies production originally premiered at Miami Light Project in 2022.

7 Stages is a center for vital conversations through performance art experiences, and thus bringing shared practices and visions to light. 7 Stages and Teo Castellanos have a long history of collaboration across geography, having worked together for many years. Mr. Castellanos and Artistic Director Heid S. Howard began conversations about F.Punk Junkies in the pre-COVID times and are thrilled to revive the work collectively to share in method and grow as artists, collaborators, and global community members. By inviting lead members of the original ensemble to collaborate with local artists over a 3-week rehearsal process and two week production run, the original devised piece will invite the power of Atlanta artists to take on the text inspired by dynamic aesthetic they would not have access to otherwise.
Auditions will be offered in 15 minute intervals, unless otherwise instructed. Please follow the embedded link provided HERE to sign up for an audition slot. Feel free to reach out to audition@7stages.org and kai@7stages.org with questions.
Thank you for making Atlanta awesome!
