HoneyWorks Audition Notice

Choreographer Berit Ahlgren seeks performers for CEDARBACKE, a new work produced by HoneyWorks that will premiere its first of three segments at Arena Dances’ Candy Box Festival, April 27-29, 2023, at the Southern Theater in Minneapolis, MN. This piece will be developed between Ahlgren and the cast, through studying the history of the Southern Theater and its relationship to the surrounding neighborhood on the West Bank of the Mississippi River.

This project seeks professional performers from all ages, backgrounds, and experiences. As the piece will be built collaboratively, a personal interest and history with the Southern Theater or Cedar-Riverside neighborhood is of interest. Please complete this form by October 31 to request an audition on November 5 or 6, 2023.

About Rosy Simas Danse 
For Native communities, art is everything. Art, song, and story manifest our activism, dance is our primary assertion of spirit and identity, and the creation of art is an enormously important part of both our economy and our traditions. Our lifeways and our art ways do not separate.

We make the work of Native artists nationally and internationally visible, to shift the global view of how Native people are seen—to demonstrate that Native artists are contemporary, groundbreaking artists bringing critical Indigenous worldviews to all fields of the arts. RSD furthers artistic and professional growth for Native and BIPOC artists, which in turn provides income, education, visibility, artistic autonomy, and hope for individual artists.  

Anti-Oppression, Equity, and Inclusion are foundational
We believe that the liberation of all peoples starts with the healing of oppression and trauma caused by the intersectional, historical, and current oppression of Native, Indigenous, Black, and People of Color in this country. We acknowledge that all human beings and all species in relationship with human beings need to be free. Read more.
