JSB currently consists of six dancers willing to challenge their physical limits, perform a range of emotions, and play with the boundaries of ballet. The company rehearses in Minneapolis, MN, and performs three full programs a year, in addition to other outreach and touring engagements. Choreographic and teaching opportunities regularly exist throughout the season.

Dancers well suited for this job will:

• Enjoy teaching opportunities that include company classes and outreach with all ages.
• Be enthusiastic about actively participating in the creative process.
• Bring individual competitiveness and interest in growing as an artist, and excitement to be a part of a small, cooperative team.

JSB offers 26-30 week competitive contracts. Starting salary is no less than $700 per week for a full-contract position. The mission of James Sewell Ballet is to transform dance, artists, and audiences through rich collaboration, education, and equitable opportunities.

I am producing a show for the Minnesota Fringe Festival this summer.

Looking for 3-4 dancers with performance experience to reset previously created modern dance work and well as create a new piece. Must be available August 3-12.
Stipend and percentage of box office for performances.

Please reach out to marywillmeng@gmail.com to express interest, ask questions and tell me about yourself.

Hi Everybody,

We are Crude Tuesday, an open performance platform and community gathering-space for dancing, movement, and experimentation. Phew, that was a mouthful.

We are welcoming people who want to perform as well as actively looking for people who want to perform. You can do whatever you want – a work-in-progress, an improvisation, a solo, a duet, anything, so long as movement is an aspect of it. The stage is small (9×22), but the theater is cute and you can eat chili and drink kombucha and bowl and other fun stuff. It’s a fun place, and it’s also so amazing and special to witness each performer in their uniqueness.

If you want to perform, please don’t hesitate to contact us and sign up for a slot. Sometimes, all an artist needs is a deadline and a little bit of courage!

The next dates are Tuesdays, April 18; May 30; June 20; and July 18.

We want this to be a supportive community-space: if you need help talking through your idea, finding rehearsal space, or anything else to help you get up onto that stage, please reach out to us! No need to be shy, this is what we want to do.

If you want to provide support, please do! Support can look like providing valuable resources to performers and aspiring performers; providing mentorship; spreading the word; and encouraging friends and fellow citizens to perform if they want to, whatever ‘performance’ means to them (it can mean many things). Reach out if you want to provide support through Crude Tuesday specifically or if you’re looking for a way to help.

You can contact us via email: zoeque15@gmail.com and kendallmkramer@gmail.com or Instagram: @crudetuesdaympls
