The reach and needs of our work are expanding, and so must our company. Black Box Dance Theatre is seeking dancers for the following two opportunities for the 25-26 season:
Rehearsals weekly on Sundays from 1PM-3PM
EPC serves as an extension of Black Box Dance Theatre, deepening ties to the dance community and adding to accessible CORE Company repertoire. EPC is an unpaid rehearsal and dancers can commit to 1-3 Sundays a month. EPC dancers will receive a scholarship to all BBDT class offerings (monthly community class, winter intensive, etc.) and tickets to all BBDT shows. This year, three BBDT CORE Company members will set works on EPC: Kate Gupton, Cortney Vartanian, and Payton Chopp. Dancers can be in 1-3 works depending on their desired engagement level. Each choreographer and their cast will meet on one Sunday of the month beginning in September for the duration of the dance season (i.e. if you are in one dance, you will meet for one Sunday; if you are in two dances, you will meet for two Sundays, etc.). EPC does perform alongside the CORE Company and may have additional performance dates.
SCHOOL SHOW CAST in BBDT CORE Company
Potential performances on Friday mornings
Rehearsals weekly on Fridays from 1:30-2:30PM and 3-5:30PM
School Show Cast is a smaller group within the BBDT CORE Company that performs on Friday mornings across the state on NC in K-12 settings. This role involves travel and consistent availability to perform on Friday mornings throughout the 25-26 academic year. School Show cast may also be considered for Teaching Artists roles, who lead workshops/residencies for K-12 students and/or professional development for educators and staff throughout the week. Shows are paid at a rate of $100 for single shows, $150 for double shows, and $200 for triple shows. New School Show dancers are expected to attend a weekend long intensive on Aug 15-17th (times TBD) at St Mary's School to establish choreography and learn existing rep. School Show Cast has paid rehearsal on Fridays from 1:30-2:30PM followed by CORE Company rehearsal from 3-5:30PM.
Registration for the BBDT Audition is free. You will receive an email with details about arrival, parking, and other details the day before the event. If you have any questions of concerns please email Kate Gupton at mkgupton@gmail.com.
