Live @ The Shed 2024 Auditions with Hatch Dance and HoneyWorks

Choreographers Berit Ahlgren (HoneyWorks) and Helen Hatch (Hatch Dance) seek dancers for a new ensemble work that will premiere at the fourth iteration of Live @ The Shed taking place June 2024. Professional dancers of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences are encouraged to apply. Applicants will be asked to improvise, as well as learn phrase work, as we seek individuals who are creative, collaborative, and expressive.

We are interested in building a unique composition based on ever shifting patterns within a constantly changing musical score, requiring attuned movers who are excited to react and respond to dynamic shifts around them. We seek collaborators who are interested in offering creative solutions, patience within a complex process, and adaptability in physicality.

Dancers who have participated in previous Live @ The Shed productions should fill out an interest form but need not audition.

Audition:
Saturday, January 13, 2024 between 6:30-8:30pm and
Sunday, January 14, 2024 between 10:00am-12:00pm
At Saint Paul Ballet.
If you are unable to audition in person, you may submit a short video (under 5 minutes) in your registration form. Please include improvisation as well as performance footage.

Phase I: Development of new work – An intensive rehearsal process will run for three weeks between February 12-March 1, Monday–Friday from 11:00am-3:00pm. Optional class will be offered free of charge from 9:30-11:00am prior to rehearsal. Rehearsals at St. Paul Ballet.

Phase II: Preparation for Live @ The Shed performances – Rehearsals in April–June, Mondays and Thursdays 12:00-3:30pm, performances June 14-16, 2024. All dates are subject to change.

Compensation: Hourly rate for all rehearsals and performances, based on experience $15-25/hour.
