AUDITIONS- "With Faith and Fury" at Tri-C Metro
by Astrid Jobe 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

*Auditions!* *Tri-C Theatre Department* *announces auditions for* *the Metro Campus Theatre production of* *With Faith and Fury* Written and Directed by Fredrick Perry To be performed at Tri-C Metro Studio Theatre April 6th – 14th *Early Auditions**:* *Tue. November 28th at 6pm @ Tri-C METRO Studio Theatre* Looking for age ranges of 16 to 70 10 male/10 female All roles available at this time. Audition requirements: Please bring headshot and resume (if available), be prepared to read from the script, and be dressed to move. Monologue is not necessary, but welcome (60-90 seconds). No appointment needed. Auditions begin promptly at 6pm. *Cuyahoga Community College is dedicated to diversity in casting.* *With Faith and Fury* introduces us to Adrian DeWulf, a charismatic philosophy professor, who has renounced all gods and makes a practice of publicly exposing the fraudulent nature of all religions. He meets his match with a group of individual religious fanatics; a masterful evangelist, a college football athlete, and other college professors. The battle is joined in the rarefied atmosphere of a peaceful, rural university; but the greater danger is to Adrian, for he falls in love with one of his students, Claire Sumner, and their love threatens to crack open a world of religious hypocrisy. The gloves come off to reveal the sometimes-desperate struggle between the compulsion toward divine authority and the freedom of the human spirit, between love of God and human passion.

Each class will integrate Release and Limon technique. Through floor work and phrase work, students will explore concepts of weight, quality, effort, spatial/physical awareness and clarity in movement. This class will also include elements of improvisation, utilizing the exploration of choreographic concepts used to develop unique, innovative movement vocabularies in real-time. Modern Lifts and Weight Sharing (Grace Nicklos & Kristyn Lein) This class will focus on the foundation of lifts and weight sharing used in Modern Dance and Contact Improvisation. Through the teachings of balancing, negotiating, and shifting weight, participants will create lifts in various group settings and explore non-traditional negotiation patterns. Ballet (Rebecca J. Leuszler) This class will focus on working from an anatomical approach, creating honest and sound movement based in the ballet technique. By removing any preconceived notions of what dancers should look like, dance like and be capable of, participants can focus on the correct placement of bones, allowing muscles to function effortlessly and efficiently. Dancers are encouraged to take artistic risk, think independently and to explore their qualitative approach to movement. Yoga (Elyse Morckel) Yoga builds strength, stamina, and flexibility. Class will incorporate Vinyasa (flowing movement sequences) with slow, sustained stretches, refinement of alignment in held poses, as well as breath awareness and mental focus. In short, it is a practice of moving meditation, which brings more clarity and peace. Yoga has been defined as ‘Awareness in Action’. We are reminded to listen to our bodies and enjoy the evolution of becoming fully present in the here and now. Improvisation (Grace Nicklos) Improvisation is an exploration of choreographic concepts used to develop unique and innovative movement vocabularies in real-time. From this base, dancers will develop movement material into spontaneous, performable dances through improvisational structures and scores.
