In line with MorrisonDance’s goal to synthesize a breadth of dance styles, auditioning performers may have training/experience in any movement genre; however, training in ballet, modern, and/or jazz techniques is helpful. Performers must be 18 or older and have prior performance experience. New choreography will be heavily rooted in contemporary techniques and exploratory improvisational development. Dancers will additionally learn choreography selected from the last 25 years of MorrisonDance repertory.</span></p>
