CoreDance Contemporary will conduct an open Workshop/Audition on Sunday June 12 from 12:00PM to 3:00PM at GIBNEY 280 in Studio U. Callbacks for successful auditionees will be on Tuesday June 14 from 9:00AM to 12:00PM. Prospective applicants should have a strong technical background in both Ballet and Modern Dance forms and have professional performance experience. Proficiency in partnering and contact improvisation are a plus.

Workshop/Audition Details: 

CoreDance Contemporary’s Workshop/Audition with Artistic Director Rebecca McCormac will be an advanced open contemporary session, which distinctively blends her Australian training and heritage with the fast-paced environment that is New York City. Her technique is self-devised, but heavily rooted in the techniques of Cunningham and Graham with a strong focus on floor work, partnering and the use of the core. The Workshop/Audition will commence with a warmup and then continued exploration of weightiness both in and out of the floor, culminating in the learning and finally demonstration of company repertoire. Key focus points throughout the session will be giving weight, joint folding, hip flexor flexion, partnering and the use of physical contact to provide the starting point for exploration through movement improvisation.
