auditions

940 dance company will be holding auditions for new dancers sometime in the spring of 2007. 940 dance company is the resident company at the Lawrence Arts Center in Lawrence, Kansas, just 45 minutes from Kansas City.

The company has access to two studio spaces for rehearsal every day as well as generous access to the Center's beautiful 300-seat theater for performances throughout the year. In its 19th year, the company has toured extensively in the region on touring programs in Kansas and Missouri as well as for the Mid-America Arts Alliance and Young Audiences of Kansas City.

The company works 5 days per week from 9:00am - 2:30pm M, W, Th, F and on Sunday evenings from 5-8:30pm. The contracts will last 7-8 months (depending on involvement in educational programming) beginning on Sept. 11th. Our time is spent creating new work and training in modern dance, ballet, yoga/pilates and improvisation. The base salary range is $500+ per month (dependent on experience and technical proficiency). Dancers interested in pursuing their own choreography are given time in rehearsal to create their own work for possible inclusion in the repertoire.

The audition in the spring will have modern, ballet and improvisation components and a personal interview. Dancers are asked to bring a resume (three references) and a headshot. If you have a short solo, we would like to see it (optional). If you would like us to know about you right now, don't wait until the spring - go ahead and contact us! Please include your e-mail address for future correspondence.
