Seeking a group of dancers (female & male) for a new dance-comedy production that will premiere in September 2014 at Gowanus Arts Center, Brooklyn.

 

The show consists of: jazz/ballet/theater/physical-comedy, pop songs, spoofs on a classic (Swan Lake), positive messages about being a woman, and a self-discovery/coming-of-age story. More details here: http://jessgrippo.com/swan-canal/

 

I’m looking for dancers* with:

a positive attitude & sense of humor

interest in collaboration

ability to pick up choreography

ability to improvise and create movement phrases

technical dance background (preferred but not required)

animated personality and stage presence

a desire to express yourself and be part of a really special group of artists

 

* I have a special interest in dancers who are re-emerging into the dance scene (after time off or realizing in adult life that you still need to dance) and want a positive, encouraging environment in which to grow.

 

Rehearsals will begin week of July 7th and will be 1 to 2x/week, official schedule pending.

Performances are September 12th and 13th, dress rehearsal on the 11th.

email me (jessgrippo@gmail.com) with "SWAN CANAL" in the subject line and share:

any links to videos of you dancing and more about your dance experience

your general availabilities from July - Sept (as in weekends, weekday mornings or evenings, etc. - or the days you know you’re definitely not available)

anything else about yourself you’d like me to know

Based on your info and your availabilities, I’ll be inviting a select number of you to attend the “preview rehearsal” on Friday June 27th at 1pm.
