Dance Connection w/ Benton Whitley (Duncan Stewart & Co) & Nick Kenkel

 
Dance Connection w/ Benton Whitley (Duncan Stewart & Co) & Nick Kenkel

Stage Door Connections is excited to be bringing casting director Benton Whitley, owner/partner at Duncan Stewart & Company (On The Town, Chicago, National Tours of We Will Rock You, Flashdance & Anything Goes), and choreographer extraordinaire Nick Kenkel (Catch Me If You Can, Legally Blonde & most recently Northshore’s Chicago) together to break down and share the secrets of how to book your next job.

This career development seminar was created to provide dancers with the inside tips on the business side of dance, as well as a rare opportunity to dance for a Casting Director and NYC Choreographer in a relaxed, non audition environment. Learn choreography from Nick and get honest feedback from both Nick and Benton about how to better your audition and performance skills followed by a chance to pick their brains in an intimate Q & A session. They are both excited to meet and see new talent!

Benton has a great eye when it comes to casting and is excited to share with you the knowledge of how to best present yourself at an audition. As a performer turned choreographer, Nick has been in your shoes and now sitting on the other side of the table, knows what it takes to get the attention of the creative team. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to dance in front of these two leading industry professionals. They both have many upcoming projects and having them give you helpful tips to better your skills before an audition is something every performer can benefit from!
