The Movement Workshop Group, a contemporary dance theater company based out of Brooklyn, NY will be holding auditions for their upcoming work "Racine D'or." For more information on the company, go to www.MovementWorkshopGroup.org.

Racine D'or is a collaborative work inspired by Louisiana folk tales - a modern day Southern mythology using contemporary dance and movement theater. Choreographed by Leslie Guyton and Stephanie Jingle. Music composed by Grammy-nominated Cedric Watson et Bijou Creole as well as Colin Summers. Rehearsals begin immediately for a residency in March, and the premiere in July. The production will then tour in the fall and spring of 2013/2014.

CASTING
LOUIS - African-American male dancer/actor

The role requires a dancer with strong technique, ability to improvise in rehearsals and contribute actively to a collaboration, and a background in acting. Like a silent movie, the roles will not require speaking but will require clear storytelling told through the body and face. Additionally, because of the collaborative process and length of rehearsal/development, we are looking for someone who is easy to work with.
