Jody Sperling/Time Lapse Dance seeks dancers for The Yard residency July 7-20

 
3 performers wave enormous silk costumes painted with tree branches in "Arbor" Richard J. Velasco

Seeking dancers to begin rehearsing with the company in May and for residency at The Yard, in Martha’s Vineyard, July 7-20, 2025.

Time Lapse Dance technique is a unique style requiring fluidity, strength, spatial awareness, and musicality. In the repertory, performers wear transformative costumes after the style of Loïe Fuller which are use to embody organic and elemental forces. The work has a strong environmental focus. We welcome diverse movers of all backgrounds and body types who are interested in learning our style, the repertory, and developing a long-term collaborative relationship with the company. While historically the company has been an all woman-identifying ensemble, for this audition we welcome performers of all genders to apply. 

We are looking for performers to be actively involved in the creative process for new work creation during NYC rehearsals (May-June) and our upcoming summer residency at The Yard (July 7-20). Performers should be comfortable improvising. Experience singing or extended vocal technique is a plus, though NOT required; the new work may involve a vocal component.

To apply, please complete the Audition Form.

Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Selected applicants will be invited to audition in person. 
Auditions/Callbacks: May 1, 2, 8 from 9am-1pm
See below for upcoming schedule and compensation details.
