TO APPLY:

Interested applicants are invited to complete a short audition form, linked below, by May 11th at 11:59PM (EST). The form will request basic demographic and contact information, proof of vaccination, a resume, and two video materials. Instructions for the two videos are listed below.

VIDEO ONE:

The first video should demonstrate the applicant's ability to learn and generate choreography and how well they are able to adapt to the company's movement aesthetic. Please view the video that is linked below (also linked in the audition form!) of company member, Aidan Feldman, teaching 6-8 counts of the "Fast Phrase" from our Just Gowanus piece. This phrase is about disruption. It is about things being pulled apart. With this information, please create your own 2-8 counts that you will attach to the end of the 6-8 counts you learned, picking up where Aidan left off. Then, video yourself performing all 8-8 counts (our choreography + your choreography!) and upload via video link or file upload in the audition form.

VIDEO TWO:

The second video offers the opportunity for applicants to demonstrate their unique strengths and show a bit more of yourself! Please upload one more video, reel, or performance of your choice for us to review. You will be able to upload this via video link or file upload within the audition form.
