Hello Everyone!

  The Cleveland School of the Arts is pleased to announce that auditions will be held for grades 6-11 on Sat. April 29, 2006 between 8am to 11:30am and 1pm to 3pm. No appointments are necessary.

  Preparing for the audition
  ART: Bring recent work that your child is proud of from a portfolio or sketchbook.  Cartoon drawings should not be included. At audition, materials will be provided and you will be asked to draw a "still life" from observation. Your work will be judged on composition, use of space and execution. (grades 6-11)

  DANCE: Girls must wear leotards and tights.  Boys must wear shorts and white t-shirts.  The audition will have two sections:technique and improvisation.  Students will be instructed through a technique class of ballet, modern and jazz. Judges will consider body structure, movement flow, coordination and rhythmical awareness, and most importantly, the ability to learn.  A ballet barre will be provided. (grades 6-11)

  DRAMA: Students should come prepared with a memorized 2-3 minute monologue from a play, novel, poem, etc. Two copies of the selection should be provided for the judges. Voice, diction, projection (the ability to be heard), movement, characterization and improvisation will all be observed by the judges. (grades 6-11)

  INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC: (String, percussion or wind instruments) Please bring your instrument and music if possible.  Be prepared to play a short piece.  Piano and drums will be provided.  you will also be asked to sight read a selection. (grades 6-11)

  VOCAL MUSIC: Be prepared to sing a song of your choosing and bring a copy of the sheet music if possible. Rap is not acceptable. You will be asked to sing a familiar song like "America the beautiful" for intonation, voice quality, pitch, consonants, vowels, breath support and personality. (grades 6-11)

  CREATIVE WRITING: Please bring a portfolio of three pieces of writing (stories, poems, narratives, reports, essays, aritcles or plays). You will asked to write on a subject chosen by the Director of the Writing Program. Work will be judged on originality of response, completeness, organization, vocabulary, sentence structure and mechanics. (Grades 9-11 only)

  There are a lot of spots left for rising 6th and 7th graders.  We are auditioning for grades 6-11.  Please pass this info on to any parents of talented children that you know!
