Collide Theatrical Dance Company is seeking male-identifying dancers with strong ballet and jazz technique and acting abilities to serve as a replacement in our 2021/2022 performance season. Background in tap, acro, hip-hop, or other styles is a plus.

Contract is from January 2022–June 2022 with the possibility of renewal for our 2022/2023 season. Must be willing to relocate to the Twin Cities. Salaried position; competitive pay. Dancers of color are highly encouraged to apply.

Company dancers must be 18 years or older and fully vaccinated. Please send your dance reel, headshot, and resume to regina@collidetheatrical.org to be considered. Be sure to include contact information.

Collide Theatrical believes in a culture of inclusion, diversity, equity, access, and artistic excellence. Collide strongly encourages applications from Black, Indigenous, People of Color, women, transgender and non-binary candidates and other individuals from identities historically underrepresented in dance. Collide does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, disability, or veteran status in employment.

We will be looking to hire at least one new mover and one paid apprentice to be a part of our company moving forward.

New members will join our upcoming season show April 7-10, 2022 at the Cowles Center in downtown Minneapolis as well as our work moving forward.

Rhythmically Speaking, a Twin Cities-based dance company with a 14-year history and a national reputation for excellence in jazz, seeks works for stage and screen for presentation as a part of our program The Cohort 2022. The program includes a live stage production in the Twin Cities in summer 2022 and dance film screenings in the fall in partnership with the Sans Souci Festival of Dance Cinema (CO), a niche film festival specializing in films that integrate the aesthetics of dance and cinema.

Submitted works must explore jazz and/or American social dance ideas from forms including but not limited to tap and hip hop styles. We encourage you to join the ongoing conversation around “what constitutes jazz and American social dance,” and the sociocultural histories of and innovations in these styles by submitting. Artists 21 and older at any point in their careers are welcomed to submit.

Separate curatorial panels for stage and screen works will select three works for a live production in Minneapolis in August 2022, and 7-10 films for fall screening events. Stage submissions must be for eight or fewer dancers and between 15-22 minutes in length, and will be selected through both this open call and by invitation. The staged works panel will be selecting two works of existent, revisited repertoire from visiting (based outside of Minnesota) artists, and one proposal for a new work from a local (Minnesota-based) artist. All stage works will be performed by the Rhythmically Speaking company dancers. Screen works submissions must be between 2-15 minutes in length.
