22 Jan '16

Cleveland Ballet Debuts Trainee Program Cleveland, OH- Cleveland Ballet's Trainee program is a unique 2-year program that challenges aspiring professional ballet dancers to put the finishes touches on their training while performing with Cleveland Ballet's professional dancers. Trainees' daily activities will include: company class, company rehearsals during the early part of the day as well as advanced professional ballet technique, pointe, variation and men's classes in the Professional Division of the School. Open audition to dancers 17 to 22 with solid background in classical ballet training, the Trainee Program prepares promising dancers for a successful career with Cleveland Ballet as well as other professional dance companies. The Trainee Program's tuition is purposely kept reasonable with the intent of facilitating accessibility for a broad diversity of dancers. We are fully aware of the necessity for trainees to work to cover their expenses while attending the program and that paying tuition on top of their expenses could be tough. Trainees only pay $300.00 per month, September to May, with a total of $2,700.00 per year. Trainees perform regularly in outreach settings and theatre performances. Trainees will have the opportunity alongside Cleveland Ballet professional dancers to perform at Playhouse Square, Severance Hall with The Cleveland Orchestra, The Cleveland Museum of Art as well as numerous well recognized arts venues in the City of Cleveland. Each trainee term begins with the summer intensive program, following by joining at the start of the Company's season. Trainees are evaluated twice each year by Cleveland Ballet artistic staff to receive detailed feedback on their progress. The average length of training in the Trainee program is 2 years. Trainees who successfully graduate from the program receive individual career advice, assistance and counseling toward moving into a career in dance and professional performance. Graduate trainees are seriously considered for apprenticeship positions in Cleveland Ballet as they become available, though such positions are not guaranteed.

BECK CENTER YOUTH THEATER ANNOUNCES UPCOMING AUDITIONS FOR "BIG, THE MUSICAL"
by Jonathan Kronenberger via NEohioPAL 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Beck Center for the Arts Youth Theater, one of the oldest continuously running Youth Theaters in the country, will be holding auditions on February 13 & 14, 2016 for the final production of our 67th Anniversary Season: BIG, THE MUSICAL Book by John Weidman Music by David Shire Lyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr. Based on the Twentieth Century Fox film Big, written by Gary Ross and Anne Spielberg Directed by Russel Stich Musical Direction by Matthew Dolan Choreography by Rebecca Frick The Story: The classic 1987 motion picture fantasy bursts onto the stage in this unforgettable theatrical experience. Josh Baskin is sick of being an awkward kid. At a carnival, he makes a wish to the Zoltar machine to become "big". To his shock, his wish is granted. After an understandably awkward beginning, Josh is forced to do "adult" things like getting a job and a girlfriend. In the end he discovers there's much more to being an adult than he's bargained for, and learns we must all grow up at our own pace, in our own time. Audition/Callback dates: (open to Beck Center students ages 6 to 19*) Saturday, February 13: 2:30 to 6:30 pm & Sunday, February 14: 1:00 to 5:00pm Callbacks: Monday, February 15 between 5:30 to 8:30pm Starting Monday, February 1, you may sign up for a one-hour audition slot at Beck Center Customer Service or by calling 216-521-2540 x10. What to Prepare: * Actors are asked to prepare a short monologue and a song (no more than one minute each piece) to present as their audition. * Memorization and sheet music are encouraged. Potential Rehearsals: March 7 - May 7, 2016 * Mon, Tues, Weds, Thurs, Fridays: between 5:30 - 8:30pm * Saturdays: between 2:30 - 5:30pm * Sundays: between 1:00 - 4:00pm We will NOT be rehearsing every day or the full time range listed. The director will pick the days that best accommodate everyone's schedules - once we know conflicts and availability for the above dates. Tech Week: May 8 - 12, 2016 * Sunday between 1:00 - 9:00pm and Weekdays between 5:00 - 9:30pm All cast members are expected to attend ALL rehearsals during Tech Week. We may not need full times listed above. Performance Dates: May 13 - May 22, 2016 All cast members are required to attend all performances. * Fridays, May 13 & 20 at 7:30pm * Saturdays, May 14 & 21 at 3:00pm * Sundays, May 15 & 22 at 3:00pm * Special Student Matinee: Thursday, May 19 at 10:00am (This will require missing school that morning.) BIG, THE MUSICAL is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International. *Please note: Youth Theater roles are only eligible to students who will be enrolled in our Winter/Spring 2016 semester. Actors do not necessarily need to be enrolled at the time of the auditions, however, participation in the actual production does require Beck Center enrollment. Students do not need to be specifically enrolled in a Theater class at Beck Center to qualify. Students who will be enrolled in a Winter/Spring 2016 semester class in Beck Center's Dance, Music and Visual Arts Departments are equally eligible. Bottom line: if you are accepting a role in the show, you will need to enroll prior to the start of rehearsals. However, some classes are already filling up! Any questions, please feel free to contact Jonathan Kronenberger, Associate Director of Theater Education, at 216-521-2540 x27. Our Winter/Spring 2016 catalog is available online at www.beckcenter.org<http://www.beckcenter.org>.
