Youth Company Auditions - 20.07.2013

GDance is offering young people from across the county the chance to join the top inclusive youth dance company in the South West.

Disabled and non-disabled youth dancers are invited to try out for this fantastic opportunity, which includes a chance to work with top UK choreographers, to perform at high profile events, and to make a dance film.

Auditions will be held on Saturday 20 July at City Works in Alfred Street, Gloucester.  The audition fee (for a 3 hour workshop) is just £5.

11 to 21-year-olds with potential in, and a commitment to, creative, contemporary dance are encouraged to get their applications in quickly, as capacity is limited.   

Last year’s GDance youth companies made a film, which will be screened nationally and internationally at dance, disability and film festivals; performed at the Glow Festival at the National Star College; took part in a workshop blending dance with new media; and had sessions with guest teachers from the UK contemporary dance sector.

The course is designed to improve confidence, fitness and technique, as well as to give an understanding of working together as equals, and of the broader dance sector.  Company members also have the opportunity to get a nationally-recognised Arts Award, and get the support of a mentor to help with their progression and future plans in dance.

GDance is looking for youth dancers who have a lot of potential – the auditions are open to all young disabled and non-disabled dancers, whether previously trained or not, and coming from any dance style background.
