Seeking powerful performers, with a strong sense of individualism and flair for dry humor and explosive movement.

Must be available for company rehearsals, out of town touring and performances starting October 2009. This is a company position and we are looking for performers who are interested in making a long-term commitment, at least 2 years to create and tour new work.

5 years of professional experience preferred. Paid rehearsal, touring and performance.

Audition schedule will be arranged based on a first come first served basis.

Call backs will be held September 22 and 23. Due to an overwhelming number of responses to the MBB & Co. audition on September 19 we are asking everyone to make sure that the qualifications for the company position are possible for you and to clarify any questions you might have about the materials requested for an audition slot.

We would like to reiterate that MBB & Co. is looking for a minimum commitment of two years with the company for making and touring new work. Our rehearsal process is nine to ten months long and the work can tour for two years after it has premiered. We are looking for dancers that have flexible schedules and are interested and able to make the company’s rehearsal and performance schedule a top priority.

We also would like to remind you to please arrive early and be prepared to dance right away for your scheduled audition time as space and time are limited. Please resend your bio, resume and reference – phone number and email of past company or choreographer -to ensure audition consideration to keeley.monicabillbarnes@gmail.com.

We will do the best we can to accommodate as many dancers as possible.

Unfortunately due to time and space limitations we are only able to consider dancers from 10-4pm on September 19. We thank you in advance for your prompt response.To request an audition slot please send a resume, short biography and one reference from a past choreographer and/or company to Keeley Walsh at keeley.monicabillbarnes@gmail.com
