Get ready to take the stage and SHINE!
The Greater Philadelphia region has one of the highest concentrations of theaters per square mile in the country, with every level from community theaters to historic regional houses. With so much opportunity around us, if your goal is to perform on one of these stages, regardless of the level, we want to help prepare you for a successful first step: the audition.
Auditioning is an art form in itself, from knowing how to make an impression in a short amount of time to understanding how to best showcase your skills. Additionally, auditioning in any environment can feel very daunting and nerve-ridden, but the theater world presents its own unique challenges where your skills have to be multi-faceted (think triple-threat!).
That’s where we come in! Allow us to guide you in unlocking your inner star through this audition prep workshop. Our goal is to equip you with essential skills, tools, knowledge and resources to start you out on the right foot and build your confidence in your auditioning skills. We want you to feel confident and prepared when you step into an audition room because when you do, magic happens. You allow yourself to showcase who YOU are as a dancer and artist in the best way possible.
We’ve designed and scheduled this workshop with peak audition season in mind. Most theater auditions in our area occur in January and February every year, and we want you to go into this year and beyond with all the tools for your “artist toolbox” to show up authentically as YOU.
This Workshop is for You if:
You are a current professional in the Greater Philadelphia area and want to strengthen your audition skills,
You are a dancer considering taking your performing career to the next level and want to be prepared as possible (i.e, make the jump from community theater to regional theater), or
You are not currently auditioning in theater, but you are a dancer who is interested and curious about the process and are ready to begin the journey.
