Founded in April of 2015, Ashley Robicheaux & Artists serves as a platform for both original choreographic works by Ashley Robicheaux and invited collaborations in contemporary dance, film, live music, and immersive experiences. We are currently looking to expand our circle of collaborators for upcoming projects for the 2016/2017 season and beyond.  

This will be our first informal audition where we will workshop ideas for our next evening length work.  We will be partnering with National Sawdust on an evening length dance-theater piece/musical collaboration for January 2017, and will be casting from the workshop not only for this piece, but also for other upcoming projects. Dance artists with experience in partnering, floorwork, and theatricality are encouraged to attend (however all are welcome). 

Workshop details:

July 6, 4-6 pm & July 7, 2-4 pm @ 890 Broadway (studio 2). 

FREE! Come one or both days. Please send headshot/resume for our records to ashleyrobicheauxandartists@gmail.com**
