Casting Dancers for a Dance Film Project
Seeking 4-7 female identifying and 4-7 male identifying dancers of any style + 1 female-identifying dancer/performer for a small role who can also serve as my assistant throughout filming (all ethnicities and genders welcome) for a new five-minute dance film to be filmed in the New York City area. Theatre dance experience is a plus.
The premise of the production is to capture and follow the story of a struggling teen through one of Queen’s songs. The film will feature multiple cuts, with the main focus on telling a story through dance, without dance overtaking the story itself. The work blends acting and movement in roughly equal measure, with a theatrical style that fuses different dance forms with expressive acting. Here are some examples of my work:

There will be approximately 3-4 rehearsals (held in the evenings or on weekends) between November and December, with one day of filming scheduled in December.
If interested, please email me the following:
- A video sample of you performing any choreography (I am looking for dynamic, expressive dancers who can embody different characters in different sections).
- Any additional videos or materials you’d like me to see.
- Your typical weekly availability for rehearsals.
- Any set travel plans in November or December.
Deadline to submit is 10/15 and I will be in contact by mid-October with final casting decisions. Please email me with any questions!
