Audition Call!

November 9, 2023 at Ann Arbor Dance Classics

 

Terpsichore Collective is a professional contemporary dance company based in Ann Arbor, MI. We operate on a performance cycle, as opposed to a standard season, with ongoing projects throughout the year.

Projects include stage works, site specific works, and dance films. 

​

Dancers are free to commit only to the projects that work with their calendar. Contracts will be signed project by project. 

 

Pay is $15 per hour for rehearsals and $100 per performance. Rehearsals are in Ann Arbor, generally Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with three hour blocks, generally between the hours of 11am and 3pm. Specifics TBD. Dancers may not be required to attend all of the rehearsal blocks, depending on the number of projects to which they commit.

 

Requirements: 

 

• Strong contemporary and ballet technique (but you don’t need a “ballet look”). 

• Experience with partnering and weight sharing. Experience in classic modern dance techniques a plus (Graham, Humphrey, Limon, Dunham, Cunningham, Horton, etc, but not required). 

• Casting all genders/gender identities.

 

To apply please complete the form below or send to aimeemcdonaldmoves@gmail.com:

 

• 2 minute video of yourself performing contemporary work (other dancers may appear in the video, but the focus should be primarily on yourself and it should be clear which dancer you are in the clip)  Vimeo or Youtube link, or file via google drive 

​

• Your resume

 

• Two references for choreographers, professors, or other dance professionals with whom you have worked closely.  

• Please also list any conflicts you potentially have with any of the regular rehearsal times listed above. 

 

All materials should be submitted by Nov 1

(late or last minute submissions, please email the above address to see if we can fit you in)

 

If invited the audition process is that you will attend Jodie Randolphs Contemporary class, 10-11:30am Thursday, Nov 9. Then 11:15-12:45 you’ll learn repertory and play with some lifts and weight sharing.

Notifications will be made by the following Monday.
