Audition for Female Dancer
Seeking one new female company member to perform the role of Rosa in their latest outdoor touring production, ‘Rosa’s Bar’.
Skills and experience required:
Experience in one or more of gymnastics, partnering (lifting and being lifted) and contact improvisation is a prerequisite for application. We seek a dancer with great stage presence and experience in using theatre within dance performance. Someone who realises and can adapt to the difference in performance when performing to an outdoor audience as oppose to those in a theatre.
Rosa is animated, passionate; a little slap-stick at times and absolutely loves to dance in the air!
Experience of working in a harness is an advantage but not a necessity.
The successful applicant will have a 4 week period of training specifically in bungee-assisted dance work, before learning the existing role of Rosa for the show. In between festival performances we will extend the aerial training to involve vertical wall work. This will broaden your skill base and provide the opportunity to work with Wired on other productions in the future.
The audition will include full aerobic warm up, bungee-assisted dance class and aerial partnering, and theatrical play with movement improvisation.
Audition Date: Saturday 13th February
Time: 10am – 7pm
Place: The Higher Space, 10 Cotton Street, Liverpool, L3 7DY
