NWDP Audition Notice
The Northwest Dance Project is looking to hire dancers for our 2010 - 2011 season.
Our Project Company (aka The PC) performs and tours works from our extensive, all-original repertoire, collaborates with contemporary choreographers on new dance creations, and participates in our Dance Moves community outreach program and other events and performances during the season.
Our current repertoire includes original works by James Canfield, Lucas Crandall, Alejandro Cerrudo, Sarah Slipper, Aszure Barton, Luca Veggetti, Benoit-Swan Pouffer, Wen Wei Wang, Maurice Causey, Edgar Zendejas, Andrea Miller and Cayetano Soto.
Those interested should send a resume, dance photo and DVD, or an online link of you dancing in contemporary work (solo work is best). Footage should not exceed 5 minutes in length. If sending group work, please explain in the letter who to watch for.

Once materials have been viewed by our artistic director, there will be an assessment of whether or not to invite you to take ballet class with the company and attend a rehearsal demonstrating your abilities to move in directed choreography. This gives us an insight to your range of learning and movement abilities. Please expect to stay one to two days for the audition.
Please also note that our LAUNCH projects offer a unique opportunity to be seen and considered for company positions.
