Jillian Peña seeks dancers for new work with rehearsals beginning in October 2016 and occurring through 2018.  Applicants are asked to fill out this application and, if invited, attend an in-person audition from 1:30-7pm on Monday, September 12 at Brooklyn Arts Exchange.

Jillian is looking for dancers with strong ballet technique and comfort using their voice. She hopes to find a cast that is diverse across race and gender, and shares a strong technical foundation from which they can experiment and generate movement.

Jillian Peña is a dance and video artist whose work seeks to make visible the confusion and desire of the self in relationship to itself and others. Her work is in dialogue with psychoanalysis, queer theory, Russian ballet, pop media, and spirituality. Peña was nominated for a 2016 Bessie for Outstanding Emerging Choreographer, and was awarded the Prix Jardin d’Europe 2014 at ImpulsTanz Dance Festival in Vienna. She has created work for American Ballet Theater.
