MorrisonDance is seeking additional dancers for our 25th anniversary production at the Cleveland Public Theatre, April 20-22, 2023.
Performers will be paid a project fee and may be given additional opportunities for spring/summer projects. Students will also be considered for a performance internship position with a stipend.
The audition will be held on Sunday, January 15 from 1 to 4 PM at the MorrisonDance rehearsal studio, 5401 Hamilton Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44114.
To attend the audition, please reserve your spot by emailing outreach@morrisondance.com with a résumé, photograph, and no more than one video link (if available). Performers must be 18 or older and have reliable email communication and transportation.
Weekly rehearsals will take place on either one or both Sunday and Monday afternoons depending on casting and availability.
Must be available for evening rehearsals/performances from Sunday, April 16-Saturday April 22, 2023 at the Cleveland Public Theatre.
We are specifically seeking dancers with a curious and playful spirit, versatile movement styles, and strong musicality. 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.
