What: Audition for a paid position in the DanceAbility performance company

Eugene, Oregon – On Thursday, August 30th, join DanceAbility International dancers and Creative Director Alito Alessi for an open audition for DanceAbility's mixed-abilities performance company. Dancers with and without disabilities create collaborative work over the course of a nine-month season for projects in Lane County and beyond. This is an incredible opportunity to be a part of a creative team with a world-renowned choreographer leading the way. DanceAbility's performance company shines in events such as school assemblies, community gatherings, formal concerts and showcases as well as site specific work in the form of "informances" which activate the community in regards to issues about society's assumptions about disability. The company also often collaborates with other artistic organizations for multi-disciplinary projects. Additionally, there will be an opportunity to learn about the DanceAbility method, attend select DanceAbility classes, and travel out of town for Oregon-based engagements. This is a paid position. Fall rehearsals will begin on a weekly basis and grow to bi-weekly in the winter. We can work around most schedules, including a different job.

The audition will take place at the Hilyard Community Center, participants will be expected to dance in a group warmup, led by Rehearsal Director Jana Meszaros, and move through several DanceAbility exercises that support expression, relationship, and movement design in an improvisational format. Dancers should come prepared to move.

RSVP by calling the DanceAbility office at 1+541-357-4982 or emailing info at danceability.com

Contact us with any questions!

All are welcome.

DanceAbility Fall classes in Eugene and Cottage Grove will resume beginning Thursday September 27th. Visit the website for more information. www.danceability.com [1] and find us on Facebook www.facebook.com/DanceAbilityInternational [2]

DANCEABILITY INTERNATIONAL MISSION: DanceAbility International’s mission is to create opportunities for people with and without disabilities to dance and move together. Our vision is that through dance and movement, people from very diverse backgrounds experience the art of being together. The work of DanceAbility International helps decrease prejudice and misconceptions about diversity in the field of dance, and by extension in society.
